I loved this book from beginning to end!

Set in the future after an alien invasion, the world searches it's child geniuses for a new commander for their army to defeat the buggers once and for all. Ender is one of such children to be taken from his family, sent up into space, and trained in the art of combat at a mere six years old.

I liked how this book wasn't too in depth about all of the new technological advances that some books set in the future tend to go into. There's new things happening, but the book focuses more on Ender and his path.

Finishing it, I hadn't realized that this was a series. This book seems to stand alone just fine, but it's fun to know that if I want to catch up with Ender there's more to read.
