Ender’s Game is set in a futuristic society in which the world lives in constant fear of an alien invasion. In attempt to prepare for an impending war against the enemy alien race known as Buggers, the international military on Earth drafts child geniuses to be sent to Battle School. Among the children selected is Ender Wiggin, a third born child and natural genius. As Ender adjusts to life in Battle School, he must face the challenges of his schooling, but also of fitting in. Despite his constant struggles, Ender is able to surpass the ranks of Battle School and dedicate his intelligence to protecting the world. However, throughout his time at the Battle School, Ender discovers all might not be as it seems with the war, as he attempts to determine who the enemy really is.
    In his novel, Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card uses a complex plot full of twists and turns that are captivating for the reader. As Ender finds himself constantly questioning authority and his purpose in this great mission, the reader sees the world through Ender’s perspective, which quite unique because he is a designated genius. The perspective and the unusual reality provided by the sci-fi genre creates a newer world for the reader to become part of. Card’s simple, yet exciting narrative makes for an easy, and undeniably entertaining story. I enjoyed this book and strongly recommend it to anybody who likes sci-fi.
