I really enjoyed reading this book. It was the first non fiction I picked up in a while. It was challenging to keep picking this one up, I think because of the war strategies / battle trainings being a major focus of the middle chunk of the book. But I still enjoyed it!! I’m proud of myself for continuing to come back to this book to finish it, despite how long it took.
The last chapter was by far my favorite, again, really glad that I saw this book through till the end. I’m actually considering the books that follow!
I’d probably rate this book a 3.5, but 4 is more closer to how I feel than 3/5.

5 Stars.
Ender's game in more ways the one; or is it really the beginning..hence the series.
This is more a story about humanity and the lack of said humanity when trying to save itself. We follow Enders story as he deals with being bullied, isolated, hated, loved, admired and his own growth. To realize that this was a child being put through the rigors of training is mind-boggling.... but who else could handle it?? Certainly not adults, with their hang-ups, prejudices, and jaded ideas of how the world works. No, only a child could bend so easily, mold and conform; to in the end, win a victory so profound.
Great read. I wonder where do we go from here? What are we to do with what is found? Is it really for the greater good, or a trick? mmmmm....

4.75: In my opinion, this book is one of the quintessential sci-fi novels and a tentpole of what this genre can be. Read it and then read it again.
this was better than I thought. I was more surprised than most I guess. I am really wondering if I will like the next book?
Reread in one sitting as an audiobook. Preferred the first half to the second.
