Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, 368 pagesAfter seeing the semi recent movie adaptation of this book I added this to my "to read" list. However unlike most books that end up on that list, where they will likely spend an eternity, this one actually got read!
Ender's Game is about a young boy named Ender who is selected to go through command school training. Along the way he meets new friends and faces some hardships. But none of that is really important except as buildup for the last couple chapters of the book. There might be some moral in there about pushing kids to hard into being what you want them to be but again only somewhat important.
What is important is the end. This book has an ending that leaves you thinking what? How did that? Wow. Everyone that has read this book knows exactly what point I am talking about. It is that point that makes this book a good book. It then goes on with some wrap up that also doesn't really matter except that this is the first in a series.
I would recommend this book to everyone, even if you have already seen the movie.
