Book Review: Enders Game

Ender's Game

By Orson Scott Card

Excellent book, I loved the mystery inside this impressive novel. 

Ender's Game really walks the fine line of science-fiction and dramatic effect. The story is set in a futuristic environment where young Ender Wigan trains to become the best soldier he could possibly be. While meeting allies and enemy's Ender finds himself deep in isolation. Pondering the thoughts of whether he is on strings or not, Ender is thrust into battle where he discovers a mind-blowing secret. Will Ender meet their expectations, or will he turn out like every second-grade student?
