## Description

In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut--young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training. Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers, Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister. Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If the world survives, that is. Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards.

Review: One of my new favorite sci-fi books - I hadn't picked up a sci-fi/fantasy book in over 15 years before I went looking to have something to read while on vacation. When I was younger I mostly read Dragonlance and Star Wars books. While browsing on desertcart I came across this book due to the number of positive reviews and the story being based around futuristic space combat. I have to say this has been one of the best and easiest to read books I have ever opened. Once you pick the book up it's difficult to put down. I finished reading it in less than two days and wished it'd been another 300 pages longer once I'd flipped over the last page. I won't go through the summary of the book since this has been done in countless reviews so I'll just add my thoughts on points of the book that stick out to me. One of the biggest positives for me was the ease of reading of the book. I don't remember having to re-read any sentences in the book to grab the meaning and I didn't even notice myself turning the pages as I read. There wasn't a bunch of characters to keep up with and the side characters were written in a way that they were easily identifiable when they showed up each time in the book. One reason for this is the book stays mostly focused on Ender's point of view and doesn't try to write a point of view for each friend/enemy he comes across. The ending has two twists that I thought fit very well with the story and unfortunately I ruined one of them for myself by reading too many desertcart reviews and reviews of other books in the series. Without spoiling it for someone else I will say I really liked how the author used the dream sequence throughout the book and tied a meaning to it near the end. Something I found different about this book compared to the books I'd read as a kid was the books I was used to reading had an adult/adults protagonist and antagonist. The protagonist of the book starts out at 6 years old but acts like and is written more as an adult. It took a few chapters of reading to suspend disbelief of this concept and treat the character as a special case (The author on countless occasions makes sure you remember the age of the characters). The book makes references to Ender and his siblings being "special" but doesn't go into detail whether it's through genetic manipulation or something else; only that his parents were authorized to have a third child when the first two didn't pan out (couples by law weren't allowed more than two children). His two siblings are also written more like adults than kids and end up manipulating world politics in their pre-teen years. The main character is also portrayed as having ruthless fighting tactics which was hard to picture for a 6 year old hero (or maybe I should say anti-hero) character. His fights weren't knocking someone out, rendering them unconscious or blooding someone's nose but to permanently put kids (close to his own age) out of commission. The writer tries to justify this by dropping the hero in "odds stacked against him" situations but it's still hard picturing a 6 year old launching killing maneuvers against other kids less than ten years of age; regardless what they did to him. The ending to the book wraps up a little abruptly and due to one of the twists near the end there isn't much suspense built up when the climax of the book comes. I haven't yet decided if I'll read the other books in the series. From reading reviews of those books they don't appear to live up to the first in the series and the writing style seems to be more about political and social issues as opposed to interstellar war. Overall I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes science fiction/fantasy and especially futuristic fiction.
Review: One Great book - Ender's Game, a science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card, is a grandly written and stylish story that asks if any is truly innocent and who is the real bad guy. This story is told mostly through the eyes of the protagonist Andrew Wiggins (nicknamed Ender) and partially through the perspective of his loving older sister Valentine. Ender is a devilishly intelligent 3rd child in the near future after most of the human population has been destroyed by a war in space with an alien species nicknamed Buggers. Ender has been chosen by those in his government to become the savior of humankind by becoming the young commander of their fleet to protect humanity from the buggers. As this book progresses and Ender is put through more and more tests and training he begins to question whether he is the hero or the villain of the story. This questioning becomes one of the biggest themes of the novel. Ender's Game is a greatly written and Orson is one of the few writers who can capture how maniacal and brutish children really can be. Ender's Game is truly in a league of its own when it comes to teen science fiction novels. Throughout Ender's Game Orson Scott Card was able to make the character of Ender easily connected to and one of the ways he did this was through Enders fear of who he is and what he is becoming. This is a fear that many people, children and adults sometimes worry over and through this fear readers could easily connect with Ender. One of the times Ender showed his fear of himself was in the beginning of the book after he had badly injured a classmate of his who had been bullying him, "Ender leaned his head against the wall of the corridor and cried until the bus came. I am just like Peter. Take my monitor away, and I am just like Peter," (Card 8). Peter was Enders older brother and very evil to everyone he felt was weaker than him and he couldn't get something from. Peter hated his brother, but has always been afraid of becoming like him, a feeling many can comply to. The other way Orson made Ender so easy to be connected to was his style of writing the thought pattern of Ender. Unlike many other authors before him who gave young protagonist an innocent and baby like mind, Orson dared to make Ender a meticulous and cunning boy, even though he wasn't even 14 by the end of the book. Ender was a character that unlike those before him seemed more real and alike those young, intelligent children out there who faked their sweetness. This made Ender all the more real and easy to connect to. This can be best seen near the end of a fight scene near the middle of the book "Ender knew that at this moment he might be able to walk out of the room and end the battle. The way ha had escaped from the battleroom after drawing blood. But the battle would only be fought again. Again and again until the will to fight was finished. The only way to end things completely was to hurt Bonzo enough that his fear was stronger than his hate," (Card 211). This cold, calculating and meticulous side of Ender was so truthful and dark that it reminded the reader that children are not really innocent. At least not today. They can be dark and controlling and ulterior reasons for everything. Even at first, this side of Ender doesn't seem right for a child, but readers who really think back to their childhood can remember moments when they thought like this, connecting them and Ender even more. Ender's Game was beautifully written and gave a great insight into a dark world through the eye of a child. It didn't stop to try to tell a story about a boys mind like normally; rather it slashed through those norms and gave the true grit of who Ender was. Because of the way Orson wrote this story, readers are able to see a more truthful world and he's respected for that. With his writing style Orson seemed to connect Ender to everyone, giving him the definite right to win both the Hugo award and the Nebula. Orson Scott Card was able to write such a raw and powerful story that it needs to be bought, before the buggers get to it first!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Review of Ender's Game
*by A***R on October 26, 2012*

Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game details humanity fighting for its place in the universe against a force they don't understand. The intelligence of younger generations is honed and seen as their only hope of salvation. That hope soon forms itself into a small boy called Ender, who must deal with the weight of the people of Earth on his shoulders. The Summary Andrew "Ender" Wiggin is a young boy of six when he is recruited to go to battle school. He leaves behind his compassionate and intelligent sister Valentine and his malevolent-genius brother Peter, not to mention parents that play little role in his life. At battle school, he endures training meant to prepare him to save the human race from the alien Buggers, with whom humanity is at war. Through various trials, Ender is faced with hardship and overcomes each problem with a cunning solution. As Ender ages, the Bugger war advances, and it becomes more apparent that humanity is counting on him as a savior. Also revealed is the extent to which Ender's life has been manipulated. The book comes to a crescendo when Ender is in his early teens. He and the friends he has made at battle school must put to the test what they have learned in order to prepare for saving humanity - if they can make it in time. My Thoughts Ender is an admirable main character that you can't help but root for. Again and again, he is forced to deal with things that no one should deal with, much less a little boy. Time after time, though, he comes through. The intelligence of children in this future world scenario is a very good thing to hope for. If only our children become the smarter and quicker of our race, then we will keep advancing. The book is dull to me at some points because of all the military influence. It isn't bad, but I have a distaste for anything that involves military references. I know that armies and such are often great things, I just often don't care to read about them. The "big reveal" in the book is surprising, but I half-expected it to happen. Others that have read the book I know have reported that it was stunning and amazing, but it did not leave me baffled. It was a very good twist, nonetheless. I would recommend Ender's Game based on a number of things. It is a good book, well written and marvelously put together. It is an excellent sci-fi tale and takes a great look at humanity and our future. I would advise people that this is definitely a book worth reading, but reserve the right to say that it will effect everyone differently. I also think it has a different effect on males, as they have the experience of growing up as a little boy, whereas I do not. For more book reviews, visit [...]
