HOLY SHIT... me too, i read these books 5 years ago when i was in 6th grade, it was simply badass, as was enders shadow and the subsequent sequals, i never much cared for the other sequals[ie xeniocide and speaker for the dead] but enders game had one of the best endings in any story, book, film, video game EVER

feck...one of my fav tv series and novels when I was young, and now they have to destroy everything I loved and give it to the ungrateful spoilt mobile phone kids of today.

The Lord of the Rings is a Catholic story. Tolkien was a staunch Catholic and that's reflected in the story.
The Narnia series has an Anglican and Protestant perspective. The Lion is supposed to be Christ.

The Lord of The Rings had a christian subtext as well, gandalf being Jesus[some debate frodo is] and the other 8 being the deciples and so on and so forth
Christian subtext? Where?
