Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Synopsis:
Intense is the word for Ender's Game. Aliens have attacked Earth twice and almost destroyed the human species. To make sure humans win the next encounter, the world government has taken to breeding military geniuses -- and then training them in the arts of war... The early training, not surprisingly, takes the form of 'games'... Ender Wiggin is a genius among geniuses; he wins all the games... He is smart enough to know that time is running out. But is he smart enough to save the planet?

My Review:
I enjoyed this book immensely! At first I thought the language would be too robotic since this book is termed science fiction but it took on a completely different tone. I did not expect to love the characters as much as I did and I was also surprised how compelling a story this was. For me to love a book, the author has to make me believe I have left the room I am reading and I am in the story with the characters and feeling what they are feeling. Orson Scott Card did that for me so this story is a winner!
