Summary of this Book...
Andrew Wiggin (Prefers to be called Ender as he was nick named by his sister) is a boy genius and the worlds last hope to stem off a second invasion from bug like aliens (buggers). Ender is conscripted to a military training center where he makes friends and enemies, learns and leads. Think of Ender as Harry Potter in a science fiction setting.
This type of Book is good for...
Adult and Young adult. SciFi and fantasy fans will adore this book.
I especially liked...
This is one of my favorite books. I really liked the complexity of Ender's character. Ender's relationship with his Sister. The conflict and coherence between Ender's sister Valentine and her brother Peter. Wonderful character development. The game(s) metaphors.
I didn't like...
The dialog is sometimes forced (not too often).
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Read the next in the series: Speaker for the Dead
This Book made me feel...
I really "felt" and understood the characters; their motives and their emotions.
The author of this Book...
Orson Scott Card is a talented writer. I've read most of his works, including those outside the Ender's series. Highly recommended.
I recommend this Book because...
Ender's Game moves at a good pace, great character development, descriptions and a nice (somewhat) unexpected twist at the end.
I don't recommend this Book because...
Ender's Game is a great book, but the rest of the series never quite lives up to this first book. Ender's Shadow is a close second. Speaker for the Dead is of a different nature.
Further Comments...
A great read. Actually I read this story once in high school and recently listened to this story twice on audio book CDs. It's worth your time and money.
