Ender's Game Book Review
If you can even just barely tolerate science fiction, then you must read Ender's Game. This story is built expertly as you are pulled into Ender's world for page 1.
Ender Wiggin is one of three gifted children. That's the problem actually. His parents had three children. They knew the rules and they had three children anyways. So, the children were all enlisted by the military coalition one-by-one until Ender was the only one who remained after his old brother and sister failed the academy.
In Ender's Game we follow Ender throughout his training and isolation from his peers. Less of young child, and more of a trained and calculated killer, Ender Wiggin may be the only hope to command the coalition fleet against the threat of another bugger invasion.
Like I previously mentioned, this book took off from page 1 and was paced perfectly throughout. Ender is isolated from friends and family for nearly the entire book; but, you feel empathy for the young kid and, from the outside, could see yourself being friends with him. Which is to say, you could see yourself being friends with a killer.
If you enjoy intelligence, science fiction or jaw-dropping plot twists, then please pick up Ender's Game and enjoy the ride. Don't be a bugger.
