Orson Scott Card's book, Ender’s Game, is a magnificent book. The premise of the book, an earth that barely survived the first two alien invasions is prepping for a third attack from the aliens, or buggers as they are referred to in the book. The human race was barely able to survive the second attack from the buggers, only thanks to the cunning work of Mazer Rackham. With Mazer Rackham aging, the Humans knew they needed a younger just as brilliant mind that could help them lead the ships in the war. Ender Wiggins, also known as Andrew, was chosen when he was just six to enter the war school. He progressed through, oftentimes with everything purposefully stacked against him, and proved to be the person the Humans needed. He was transferred to a different station where he unknowingly led the humans to battle with brilliant maneuvers and was able to win the war.
Although the book was only 300 pages, it was brilliantly paced and packed with tons of great story writing. Orson Scott Card did a great job with the book by adding Ender’s thoughts in as well. It allowed the readers to experience and understand his growth as he struggled to not end up being like his brother Peter. I would rate this book a 5 out of 5 as the story is also very well written as it is paced perfectly and has multiple twists that keep the readers interested at all times.
