No better SciFi story out there
Ender's Game is one of those books that, as an author of young adult science fiction, I have been encouraged to read. I finally did, and I am impressed.

I really needed a break from the books I had been reading lately, & this book has been on my to be read pile for a while, actually it was on my sons bookshelf & he said he really enjoyed the book & thought I would like it. I must say it was an enjoyable break from what I have read lately.

Enders Game starts off with a 6 year old boy who is one of the smartest kids at first he is montored by a thing on the back of his neck but when he gets it off he thinks that he can be normal now and not a freak but he finds out that he gets the choice to be sent to a place out in space to be trained to be the best general and defeat a alien race they call the buggers. While being transford to the academy he has to be taken there by a rocket with a bunch of other kids his age.
Wow this book really suprised me. I bought it for .75 just to see if I liked the author and I blazed through this book. Great story! Will definitely pass this one on to many friends!
Okay so not normally my type of book, but my friend made me read and I am so glad she did. Non-stop awesome.
