Ender's Game Review
I finished reading listening to Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card last Friday. Simply put it was an excellent story. The basic premise is that earth is needing to protect itself from another invasion by the alien Buggers. To protect themselves the world is training up the best military they can and six year old Andrew "Ender" Wiggins has been identified as the next leader of this military. So he is sent off to train at battle school.
The story itself is great but there are lots of good underlying themes, knowing yourself, knowing your enemies, and making sure you know who your real enemies really are. There's lots more but you'll just need to read or listen to the book.
