I simply love this book. I first read it when I was 14. I couldn't stop reading and the moment I finished I started reading it again from the very beginning. It's a strange, twisted and cruel story at times, I don't like any of the characters in the book, still - it's one of my most favourite books ever. Five stars. I read this for the "A Genre You Don't Normally Care For" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I'm not usually into science fiction or space or aliens, but this book was fantastic. It's still a bit hard to believe it was 6 year olds accomplishing these things, but I enjoyed the characters and the story didn't end up feeling that far-fetched. The ending surprised me, but it resolved nicely and I'm looking forward to book 2.
I am aware that this sounds like the synopsis of a grade Z, made-for-television, science-fiction-rip-off movie. But Mr. Card has shaped this unpromising material into an affecting novel full of surprises that seem inevitable once they are explained. The key, of course, is Ender Wiggin himself. Mr. Card never makes the mistake of patronizing or sentimentalizing his hero.
