4.5 out of 5.0 stars
The very worst thing about this book is that, at times, Ender’s actions, thoughts, and behvaiours seem somewhat fantastical. Granted, genius children often mature faster on the outside, their thoughts would usually betray their age. Not so much in what they are thinking, but how they are thinking. Does that make sense?
The very best thing about this book is how much better it was than I expected. I’ve been seeing this book/series around for years and never read it. Why? Because honestly, based on the teasers on the back I thought I was going to be reading a book about a rebelious child who miraculously succeeds against the giant evil government in spite of all the adults trying to kill him. Yeah… Boy was I wrong! ^_^

No solo desde el punto de vista de la ciencia ficción, pues el libro habla mucho de los insectores, la guerra o los juegos en los que Ender es instruido, sino también la personalidad del personaje principal, sus temores y sus ambiciones. Es un libro muy humano y aunque a veces es poco realista la madurez de Ender o su inteligencia perfecta, es un libro interesante. Con una pluma poderosa, no puedes dejar de leer. ¿Hasta donde está dispuesta a llegar el humano para salvar a la humanidad?
I don't love science fiction, but I love Ender Wiggin. I think he is one of the most beautiful and tragic characters in all of literature.

This is one of my favorite Sci-Fi novels of all time. The author has some unsavory views about the LGBTQ community irl, but they do not bleed into this work. This is an interesting philosophical look into what it means to be the chosen one, and how it effects someone, especially a child. I highly recommend reading this book, just don't pay money for it.
