At first I wasn't very interested with this book when my brother became obsessed. But, last week, I guess I decided to give it a shot, due to its augmenting popularity in my school.
I read Ender's Game in two days, spending almost every minute of my time flipping the pages. I love this book. Ender's life often reminds me of mine, because he was a tool, a robot, used for others' purposes. He hardly ever had time for himself because he was doing what others insisted on him doing. When I saw this book on various shelves of my friends, all with a five star rating, I couldn't resist. It has now become one of my most valued and favorite books.

Okay, so we understand that you loved it. Great. But you know, you should ask yourself questions about this book. Why did you really think it was such a good book? What was special about Ender? Was he really just a tool for others' purposes? Perhaps he used others as tools? How did he become the leader he became? I can assure you that none of these questions are really as easy as they may seem, but can enhance your reading experience. People read these things and they see that it's good--but they do not see why. Orson Scott Card's ability to portray the human mind and set it into action in his characters is absolutely amazing, and as writers, it is a talent many of us only dream to achieve. There's a lot of Ender in a lot of us. But what use is it to see that if we don't see where it is or how it is so, if that makes any sense?
You know the book. You read it. You understood it. It means something to you.
Now show us.
Oscar you make me laugh.
