Ender's Game (Ender, Bk 1)
Ender's Game (Ender, Bk 1)
Author: Orson Scott Card
Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy
Book Type: Mass Market Paperback
reviewed The Greatest Novel of All Time on
Helpful Score: 1


Simply the most effective and profoundly character driven display of brilliance you will ever read. You won't forget it, and it will likely haunt your dreams, like it did mine. I can't explain why this is the case, other than the characters become real to you. You'll care for them. This book has the reputation of being a book for kids, but it is for everyone. You can read it, and you should. The honesty it presents is deeply disturbing and I guarantee you'll read it many times just to fully understand its intentions and ideas.
