The needs of the many... The proverbial quotation from Star Trek is this case covers it for humanity. What is moral, what is heroic? What is it being the youngest in a bunch of school kids, born so brilliant they outsmart and outshine grown-ups at the age of six? And if amidsts all those brights you're a born to be a leader? Or you aren't? Would you take it? Would you let youself to turn you into a monster, because winning is everything? Game or not, Ender is Ender. He is born to end it.
=============
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is a book that, to me at least, can grab one's attention right away. There is action, war, deception all together. It's about the main character, Andrew Ender Wiggins, who has the brains and spirit to win this war. The one thing Ender has a problem with, and later becomes an even bigger problem, is how he can get such a great understanding of his enemy right when he destroys them. This is mentioned at the beginning of the book, and later plays its own sp
ecial role in the book. But that's for you to find out yourself. Overall, the plot and storyline was well developed. There was one chapter that I thought was boring, but it's probably just me who feels that way. I really liked how Scott Card didn't go into excessive detail. Some authors do that, and it can be really annoying.
Overall, I would give this a 4 to 4.5 star rating.
I would also like to say thank you Orson Scott Card, for making this amazing book that has much imagination and emotion in it. Thank you very much for it.
