How about this order?
Ender's Game Ender's Shadow Ender in Exile Then the last 3 Ender books (Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind) And finally Shadows in Flight, when it's published. I'm borrowing Shadow of the Giant tomorrow; I'll let you know if it was as good as Ender's Shadow, as disappointing as Shadows of the Hegemon and Shadow Puppets, or somewhere in between. |

I agree with a lot of the posts. Book 1 and 2 were great but it all went down hill from there.
I think what really turned me away was the fact that the characters simply stopped responding to Ender in any way I thought would have been realistic. |

My 2 cents: I didn't read this series until I was 48, I read it in chronological order from beginning to end and this was a thoroughly enjoyable series. It never went downhill in the least, but the type of science fiction did vary and I could see how someone might like some novels and not others. That's their loss, the writing, characters and plot were consistently top notch. Then again I thought Dune was great but couldn't get through the rest of them to save my life.
