Ender's Game and the next book Speaker for the Dead are genuinely masterpieces. If you let the author's background stop you enjoying them, you are missing out. But when he starts preaching family values in later works though, they can become rather annoying.

I love Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead (which is a lot less famous but still brilliant).
Orson Scott Card also wrote one of my favorite fantasy books: Enchantment
But yeah his homophobia is upsetting and I have to admit since I learned about it I haven't really seeked out anything new of his work. I don't think an author's views should affect your views of their work but sometimes it is just hard to separate the two.
I am still excited about this movie and I think Asa Butterfield is a good child actor, so I am happy with that choice.
