Ender's Game. I
had never heard of this book until my sister told me about it last
year. She had read it for an English class her freshman year of college
and written a paper about it. She explained that even though it was
science fiction, she didn’t really feel like that’s what the book was
about. (Neither of us are big science fiction fans.) Sure, there were alien lifeforms and gravitational alterations and
galactic wars, but she insisted the book was more about children and
their relationships to each other. Well, she was right. The book was
fascinating and I couldn’t put it down! Definitely one of my favorite
books now. I think this is a great read for anyone, from children to
adults.
P.S. - Ender was the character I wanted to use for Day 15, but I decided to save his story for today instead.

Have you read this book? Heard about it? Apparently it's a series, so I need to go find the second one soon!
The series is huge -- 11 novels, various short stories, and some comics/graphic novels. I will admit I wasn't a huge fan of *Ender's Game,* but two friends of mine who loved the story said I should give *Ender's Shadow,* which is actually narrated by Bean, a try.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I wasn't expecting that. Well I will definitely try Ender's Shadow next, then! Thanks for the tip.
