Ender's Game

I hated this book as a 13 year old, really liked it as a 23 year old. Some of my complaints are still the same: Ender's story starts a little too young (maybe 2-3 years) and it's hard to believe that such a perfectly strategic mind could exist. But I've never been a child genius, so what do I know?

Overall, exciting and action-packed. Highly recommend! I might even read the rest of the series this time.

Also, I read the introduction, and apparently the author was a Mormon missionary to Brasil. Pretty crazy. He used some Portuguese words, too, which I thought was cool.


Age range: 15+
If my experience is any gauge, younger readers just might not be able to follow the story, especially the ending.
