The most off-topic WCDT discussion ever
Method of Madness:
It's a fairly well known book, but the ending is hardly Rosebud=sled or Vader=dad level, so...no, you should not spoil it.

Vater, not vader. Or are we not talking about German? :-D
Enders Game isn't praised so much for the plot as for the characters. Lots of smart kids related to Ender. The world was also interesting enough that he was able to milk the Shadow series out of it.
Method of Madness:
While that may be true, it always bugs me when people say "it's about the characters, not the plot" like that's a valid excuse to spoil an ending. Not that you were doing that, but it reminded me of people that do.
Rimwolf:
The first I ever heard of Orson Scott Card was when he came out in support of the fatwa against Salman Rushdie -- i.e. he thought a death sentence was appropriate for "blasphemous" writing. That's the last I ever wanted to hear of him.
DSL:
First I heard of Card was his short story "Unaccompanied Sonata," which left me profoundly sad -- as I think it would anyone of any even remotely artistic bent. As for art vs. the artist, I've met in person and been disappointed by enough people I've admired for their accomplishments in any field you want to name to not even want to take into account anything beyond the work.
