Ender's Game


For my blog, I've decided to read and review the book "Ender's Game" by the American author Orson Scott Card. The book is based in the future where children are sent to schools where they're tested in many ways to see if they have an equal balance of skills and emotions. If they pass and get through the program, they're sent to a space station where they’re trained to become soldiers. The entire system is based on training the children for war. The government aims to find children who will become new leaders and fighters that they need. They believe they need this army because a while ago there was an "invasion" of bug-like aliens. The government believes that they'll be back again anytime, so they want to be prepared. I'm not going to give away any spoilers, so onto the next thing.

 Of the many people who have already read this book, most have only positive comments to make. I can do nothing but approve of these comments, because I agree with them.  The characters are well developed, the story line makes sense and is mostly easy to follow, and people just seem to fall in love with Ender's character from the first pages. This book became so popular that it was even made into a movie. Most people talk about how they loved the movie. They say it’s amazing and other praises of this sort but, as those who read this book know, the book is better than the movie.

  3. I haven't read the book or seen the movie yet, but it does sound interesting! What would happen if you failed the test at school? Would you have to retake it or were you put somewhere else?

    1. If you even made it to the test, you would be really lucky. Both Ender's brother and sister were put into the program and neither of them got to the test that Ender did. If you failed the test i thing you would just get kicked out of the program.

  6. I like how you started off saying that everyone had mostly good things to say about the book. It made me think you didn't like it. I don't know if that's just because I'm weird or what, but it made me laugh. This sounds like a really good book though, I want to go find it now.

  7. the book was Amazing, however the movie dosen't do it justice. While the film may have been ok on its own, the butchery of the book's plot ruined the movie for me. if you have to choose between the versions, Read the book hands down.
