„Ender`s game“   

Orson Scott Card

Fiction

                          

             „Ender`s Game“  by Orson Scott Card is a fictional book about a 6 year old boy’s time growing up to fight against an Alien attack on Earth. He and other future soldiers have to then attend a Battle School in outer-space to get taught on how to save the world. The Boy is called to be a military genius and get’s pushed forward a lot by his teachers making him unpopular by the other children in Battle School. It takes place in the Game and Battle rooms where they try to increase their abilities in thinking tactically and fighting against other armies to become a better soldier.

            Personally one thing I didn’t enjoy when reading this book was when they explained the moves in a fight between two armies in the Battleroom because I wasn’t that interested in it. They already talk most of the time about the games and how they work. On the other hand one thing I liked was how at the beginning of a new chapter the reader could read what the teachers thought about Ender and his actions he did in previous chapter’s. Especially because you find out a dark secret of Ender during their talk that not even he himself knows.

         A challenge I had to face whit this book was that I sometimes had to read the page where they tell the reader of the psychological games and how they worked twice. That also had something to do with me partly being bored with those parts of technology explained in the chapters. I generally don’t like it when books have too much fiction in them.

         I would recommend this book more to boys or people who really are into fictional story’s including war, battles, games, and a nice Alien invasion story in outer-space. It’s also a book where you have to think about the content that you just read.
