Does the movie cover all of the books or just the first? I have only seen the movie and it would be cool to be able to read more of it!

Just the first. And only really a subset of the first (like most movies… hard to cover 400’pages in 2 hrs).

There are at least 10 other books. Most take place hundreds or thousands of years after Ender’s Game.

Second is called Speaker for the Dead.

I cannot recommend more highly.

It’s a highlight reel of the first book, and gets a lot wrong. Had I just watched it, I could rail on it for you, but I’ve put it out of my mind. I remember being very angry at it.

I honestly cried from joy. I read that book probably five times starting a decade or more before the movie. Seeing the battle school on the big screen was moving.

Did it not do justice to the physical and mental torture of Ender. Of course. But it was still beautiful to me.
