This is science fiction book that makes you want to be the main character. Ender enters battle school and is training to fight the aliens. Along the way, he makes friends, fights lots of pretend battles, and also makes some tough choices.

This book is very interesting. You will want to keep reading to see if the earth is destroyed or saved. There are some exciting twists and a really cool ending.

This is a science fiction book, so if you like to read science fiction you might like this book. This book tells you a lot about Ender Wiggin's family in the beginning. I won’t tell you his real name because you’ll have to read the book. The story really starts when a man named Colonel Graff takes Ender away. He drives to a space station and launches in a space shuttle to a Battle School. While in the Battle School Ender makes a few friends. Then he is put into an army. The armies battle each other with little laser guns that paralyze you if you are hit. He gets traded to Rat army from Salamander army even though he is the best in the league. Then he gets traded to Phoenix army. Then after he was promoted in Phoenix army, he is given Dragon army. He wins many times with that army. But then he is transported to Command School. He plays some games there and then they start to get boring. Then a man named Mazer Rackham in the school came and Ender then went on grueling training exercises everyday. Ender is put in a room where he can practice. After many practices he came to the final test and was told that there was a planet there. The planet was the home planet of the creatures that they were fighting a war with. After he destroyed the planet in the simulation he found out that it was the home planet of the creatures they were fighting with. The end I won’t give away though. I would rate this book a ten out of ten. It is a really good book.

Ender’s Game is a book set in the future. The main character is a boy named Andrew (Enders) Wiggins. Twice, insect-like aliens named Buggers have attacked the Earth. All the governments in the world have formed an alliance to fight the Buggers. Together they launch a space station for the soldiers in training. Each government sends children to be trained as soldiers and commanders. Ender Wiggins is chosen as a commander and enters the Battle School where he has a difficult time with some of the other trainees. I think this book is very good because it is exciting and high-tech. It is very futuristic and that makes it interesting. Ender is constantly in trouble with the other boys at the school and that makes it exciting. I

would like to rate Ender’s Game a 10 out of 10 because the super computers and simulations are very interesting, and the action never stops. However, I rate it a seven out of ten since it would benefit from the removal of the violent parts which only take away from the story.

Ender’s Game is a fascinationg story that was recommended to me by a friend. It is about Andrew Wiggin, (or Ender) who, at age six, is chosen to by the military to go to Battle School in order to train to become the main officer in the world’s attack on the aliens. The book takes place in the future and follows Ender’s career up on another planet. I don’t want to give away the plot, but he has great success in the military. You’ll just have to read this great book yourself. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes science fiction. It is especially interesting because the main character is a boy my age that gets to do a lot of really neat stuff!

Ender's Game is about a boy named Ender Wiggin who is living a normal life as we do today, until a man named Colonel Graff talks to him. Graff talks about Ender going to the Battle School to help defeat the Buggers who live in space. Ender chooses to go to the Battle School and won't see his parents for a long time. This book takes place in the future. In this book you will see how Ender masters a game at the Battle School, and then tries to defeat the Buggers. In this story you will follow all of Ender's adventures. Ender's Game is science fiction and is very challenging, but it is a good book and I would rate it a 7. It takes awhile to read, because it is challenging but you will get a kick out of Ender's adventures. I hope you get a chance to read Ender's Game.
