'Ender's Game'


 By Jasmine S.

Enders Game was written by Orson Scott Card. He wrote Enders Shadow, Speaker of the Dead, Xenocide, etc… Enders Game is a military scientific novel. It is set in a futuristic Earth, where these alien bugs are a constant threat. Every family is only allowed two children, but Enders family was granted special permission to have Ender. All the children have a monitor put into their head when they are really little and the I.F. monitor the child’s thoughts and feeling over certain situations. Well both of Enders siblings, Peter and Valentine, were kicked out of the program because Peter was extremely violent and Valentine was to empathetic. They hoped that Ender would be the perfect balance between them. So, Ender is chosen to go to battle school, where he excels in everything. He is the star student, but he realizes that this whole thing that he is doing is pointless. He then goes through all these emotions that interfere with his battles. The ending is an amazing plot twist that you will not see coming!



I liked the whole book. I absolutely love the story line, the plot twists, and the way the characters developed along with the story. The only thing I did not like, was the way the battles were described. To me, they were a bit confusing and hard to grasp what Card was trying to get across. Other than that it is absolutely amazing!

I would recommend this book to everyone I know. This book would be great for audiences over the age of 14. Adults should read this book more than the younger audience simply because adults can comprehend a lot more. I love this book.
