alw285 's review for:
Ender's Game
by Orson Scott Card
I read this book in preparation for the film, but also because it has been on my reading list for a long time.
I like the main character Ender despite his almost too perfect characteristics. Peter and Valentine were also enjoyable to read although I feel like their conclusion was a bit down-played and too secondary to the main plot compared to what it could have been.
The Battle School and the setting for the story are very intriguing concepts and fun to picture in your mind ... it will be interesting to see them brought to life on screen.
Finally, I think they wrapped up the story regarding the buggers and their motivation in a very satisfactory way, although I felt the ending was very rushed and could have been drawn out a little more. It almost felt like the aftermath of the climax could have been another book altogether ... but I hear that the author went back and filled in some of those details later anyways. Either way ... I felt as though a lot of detail and character development was left out and would have liked to see that in the arc of this book.
