Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card

My Rating: 2 stars

Ender Wiggin is one of the smartest kids his age, and he has been singled out as the one to defeat the buggers and lead the Third Invasion. Can Ender successfully complete his mission? Or is everything just a game?
I had to read this book for my reading class in school, and I thought by the reviews for it that it might actually be a fairly decent book. But I don’t think it was even close. I didn’t like this book for many reasons. 1. I’m not that into science fiction genre, especially the whole “aliens” thing. 2. This book was really confusing, especially towards the end. I don’t know how to describe it, but sometimes it was just confusing for me to read. 3. This book was boring. And when I say boring I mean BORING. I can’t remember one time I actually wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next.
Oh, will you believe it if I said there was one thing that I liked about this book? Well, there is. The one thing I liked was how the book ended. I think the second to last chapter was the best one out of the whole book. But, I won’t say anymore, in case you might actually want to read this book…
And, there are maybe six other books in this series… but I’m not even going to bother to read them.

I completely disagree! I thought this book was amazing, the way they take this genius kid and emotionally manipulate him to become a weapon- to become his greatest fear. Sorry to read you were disappointed…

Ender’s Game just wasn’t my type of book; I’m not in to science fiction and stuff like that.
But I’m glad you liked it! 🙂
