Damn, people really want me to read Ender's Game. I don't get it.

Probably this. Also, is this for analyzing à la Hunger Games? You might have fun with it due to the Little Hitler-- What a Scamp! themes and/or looking for evidence of OSC's titanic repressed homosexuality, but I would say overall it's not /bad/ enough to really spork well.

But everyone already knows those things! I can't possibly do more Hitlernalysis than the person who wrote that massive essay, and the fact he's gay is already pretty clear and more obvious in his later works anyway.

^ This.

If you were spork Ender’s Shadow on the other hand, I could get behind that. It turns out that Ender’s genius was greatly overstated and apparently Bean was the real super-genius all along. Reconning abounds as it transpires that Ender’s success was mainly down to Bean's manipulation of events. For reason’s I cannot fathom most people regard this book as nearly as good/equal to Ender’s Game.

See, Ender's Shadow just sucked. I can summarize the entire thing as "Bean is a canon-warping sue". There's no need for a line by line breakdown.
