Ender's Game

I really like Ender’s Game so far. It’s a pretty easy and quick read, but there is still a lot of depth in it. I like how the author mixed the plot up a bit by not only making Ender the best in the group, but also struggling with his fears of turning into his brother, Peter. He has both a light and dark side that stems from wanting to do whatever it takes to both save the world from Buggers and saving himself. There is a lot to Ender that still hasn’t been mentioned, and I look forward to delving deeper into his character.

I also really liked how the point of view switched briefly to Peter and Valentine. It’s been two years since Ender was gone, but they still remember him. The duel storyline is an interesting point in the book. Both Ender and his siblings are trying to save the world but in different ways. Ender is using physical force and war, while Peter and Valentine are using words. I am excited to see how the two will cross, and I’m sure they will. I really want to read how the siblings meet back up again; I think it will be very interesting –especially between Peter and Ender
