Pretty Boy

De: Orson Scott Card

Narrado por: Scott Brick

How do you systematically destroy a child with love? It's not something that any parent aspires to do, yet a surprising number come perilously close to achieving it.So begins Orson Scott Card's new story from the Ender Universe, a profound meditation on parents and offspring focusing on the childhood of one of Ender's Battle School challengers, Bonzo Madrid, and the circumstances that lead him to his unique place in the Game. Read by a frequent visitor to Ender's world, Scott Brick.©2006 Orson Scott Card (P)2006 Orson Scott Card

That OSC is certainly a clever man.

What did you like best about this story?

In “Children of the Mind” and now again in “Pretty Boy” OSC has a way of turning villains into real, almost likeable people.

Any additional comments?

I have despised Bonzo Madrid since I was 12. He was mean to Ender...Ender, whom I love! What’s not to hate about the guy? It is interesting to have my mind changed all these years later.

This was good and should be read by every man and their sons!

This was good and should be read by every man and their sons! These actions should not be seen as the norm!

A nice little background story

It's a nice background story about Bonzo although still missing some more of his journey

Strange subject matter

Was good but not really about "doting parents". Strange subject matter but good backstory of a side character in the Enderverse.

Short and sweet, like my review.

It gives me a new perspective of the boy that Ender hated. And that's about it.
