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

5.0

As often happens, I watched the movie before I borrowed my father's old copy and read it. It's really worth reading. Orson Scott Card deftly directs you to see through Ender's eyes, as well as those of everyone around him. I think it's better in book format because there isn't such a rush to fit it all in. It doesn't focus too much on anything insignificant, but has a nice pace to it. Just as Ender feels empathises with his enemies, you empathise with each character. It also gives you a much better idea of how very young Ender is, whilst at the same time leading you to forget it thanks to his incredible maturity. I really envy the Wiggin children their excellence, and it was awful to feel Ender's disillusionment with his existence, and his over-whelming guilt.
