#26: Ender's Game

I just finished Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.  I'm not really a science fiction fan at all, but this book did hold my attention.  I really had no idea what this book was about, but lots of people told me it was good. 

I liked the beginning of the book.  It really made me decide that I loved Valarie and Ender and didn't like Peter.  When Ender went to Battle School, I liked learning about how his mind worked and liked seeing him succeed.  The actual idea of these little kids being thrown "training" was really sad though.  I felt so sorry for Ender throughout the book, and I really think that is what the author wanted.

I was a little disappointed in the ending.  I guess I just wanted more for Ender.  I think the book is set up for the next books in the series and maybe that is why it ended like it did.

I'd give this book about 3 1/2 stars.  It's better than most Sci-Fi that I have read, but I really don't feel the desire to read the next books or watch the movie.
