Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card

Yay! This is my 100 post!!!!
Amazon's Review: Intense is the word for Ender's Game. Aliens have attacked Earth twice and almost destroyed the human species. To make sure humans win the next encounter, the world government has taken to breeding military geniuses -- and then training them in the arts of war... The early training, not surprisingly, takes the form of 'games'... Ender Wiggin is a genius among geniuses; he wins all the games... He is smart enough to know that time is running out. But is he smart enough to save the planet?

MY Review:  Okay, first of all I'm not much of a sci-fi reader, I've only read Isaac Asimov books because they are a must read! but this one is not much of a sci-fi novel. I find it more like a psychologycal novel because the main character Ender has to decide to be good or evil while everyone pushes him to loneliness and evil just to make his stronger for their cause. It's definitely a page-turner but unlike the previous book I read from Orson Scott Card (Witch and Wizard) which was crap! and it was such a clear attempt to be a bestseller!!! And he uses great narration to describe the battle tactics that make the really easy to understand and exciting to follow. Not a boring sci-fi novel at all!!!!

Rating: 9/10
