A review by pbanditp
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

4.0

It begs the question of how far will we go for hypothetical peace? Ender is a genius, and a child. The book starts when he is six years old and at the finale he is 12. Bullying and manipulation are Ender’s teachers. Friends are turned to enemies and isolation due to jealousy create the leader that the politicians think they want. Is it worth it in the end? Are the Buggers all that we should fear?
This book is filled with metaphors and lessons.
