Ender’s Game

Card, Orson Scott. Ender’s Game. NY: Tor, 1994. 384 pages. (Sci-Fi Series)

Ender’s Game is about a boy who is the third child in his family, and he is teased a lot in school, and his brother isn’t so nice either. Ender is a very smart kid who gets chosen by Colonel Graff to be sent to a Battle School to help save the world from another Buggar attack (Buggars are an alien life form), but before he can battle, he has to train in zero gravity. He does very well in his training and makes a few friends along the way as well as a few enemies. Since he did so wel,l he was promoted to higher and higher ranks with him being the youngest in all the higher ranks. Then he does so well that he gets to go to a new commander school on the planet Eros. At this time, Ender really misses his family and hopes that he will be able to visit them soon.

I recommend this book to anyone who really enjoys sci-fi books with lots of action. This book is an action packed book that will cause you to not stop reading it. The writer, Orson Scott Card, uses great words to put you in the characters’ shoes. When I read this book, I felt as if I was the one facing all the same challenges Ender had to face. I hope you enjoy this book.
