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.

Enders 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 Enders
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.

Enders
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 worlds
attack on the aliens. The book takes place in the future and
follows Enders career up on another planet. I dont
want to give away the plot, but he has great success in the
military. Youll 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!

S. '08 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.
