Ender’s Game Book Review


Ender’s Game Book Review

In the book Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, the main character, Ender Wiggin, is chosen by the leaders of his government to lead his country against a species called the Buggers. Ever since he grew up with his brother, Peter, and sister, Valentine, his daily life was monitored and his potential was noticed. Now that he is selected to train in a space station called the Battle School, he and the other children play organized war games and learn their own strategies and tactics. However, the adults manipulate Ender to isolate him from the other children and keep him alone so that he feels on his own at all times. This book is full of twists that change the readers’ view. For example, it is not revealed that Ender actually killed two of his enemies during his fight at public school and at Battle School until the reader is well into the book. Ender happens to always find a permanent solution to his problems when they occur. I would easily recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading suspense and science fiction because they will always want to keep reading. It is full of perceptions of our future world, and different ideas continue to interest anyone.
