Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card's 1977 Sci-fi novel Ender's Game is a brilliant piece of work with few flaws. It captures a rare vision of a future far away, yet almost possible. The book stars six-year old Ender (Andrew) Wiggin who (along with his maniacal ten-year old brother Peter and loving eight-year old sister Valentine) is a genius. Ender is sent to battle school to learn and play "games" of strategy, to one day fight an alien race called the buggers that have attacked the planet twice before. While Ender wins all his games, he learns that time is running out to save himself, his friends, and planet Earth as a whole.This book displays an immense variety of futuristic entities without going as far as to making modern day society look totally obsolete. Card also makes the thoughts of these children even more complex than that of the adults which makes the reader have to really think about the children's views. This while being a goal of the author is aggravating because it causes a dil
emma due to the fact that it is hard to comprehend the ages of the children due to their thoughts and actions. Also another topic that turned off some readers was that Card's descriptions in some parts seemed homosexual. Otherwise this was a great novel that I would recommend to anyone with a love for books, the future, and a relentless assault of action and deep thought concepts.I give this book a 8.75/10
