Ender's Game

Ender's Game
by Orson Scott Card
St. Martin's Press, 1985. 349 pgs. Sci-Fi

Ender's Game is the story of Ender Wiggin, born the third child in a future America where families are normally only allowed two children. Ender is the object of much abuse, which he ends by brutally beating the leader of the bullies. Due to his potential as a great military leader he is selected at the age of six to be enrolled in Battle School. Here he is trained to defend Earth from attacks by the Buggers.
This was a great story, and I enjoyed the morality questions. Was Ender's treatment fair? Do the ends justify the means in war? If you are one of the few that haven't read this book I highly recommend it, but, be aware that it does contain a great deal of violence and language.
