Ender's Game by: Orson Scott Card

The most exciting thing I learned while reading this book was that it is in the makings to become a film! The movie is expected to be released November of this year, 2013.

So, this is the first sci-fi novel I have ever read and, again, it was a random novel I purchased having absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into. It turns out that it was a great idea!

I have no quotes from this novel; however, I thought it was such a good book! It was really fun to read and kept me wanting to continue and never put it down. I love it when books do that :)

A brief synopsis is as follows:

The human's world on Earth is preparing for war against the Buggers and in doing so are looking for a commander to lead them to a victory. They have been searching and hope to find faith in Ender who is then sent to school to be tested and taught how to defeat the Buggers. Ender goes through many challenges, physically and mentally, and the novel shows his story, from his point of view, telling about his life before he left, during school, and after. It shows his relationship with his family and how the problems of war have affected such. Ender's game shows that you have to think outside the box and never give up to succeed.
