Ender's Game is one of the best books I've ever read! The beginning is sketchy and then as you read on it explains everything in bits and pieces so by the end of the book you completely understand everything you read! Ender's Game is a good example of how enemy's, sometimes, aren't so different after all and if you are the bigger person and learn to set aside differences and step up to the plate then you will find that you can live your life to the fullest!
