Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

     Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is a space-age action-packed book that I suggest everyone to read. The genre of this stupendous book is science fiction because it features abominable aliens and technology beyond your imagination. This book is about a prodigious boy named Ender who is sent to a military camp. This camp trains young children to become soldiers to fight against a menacing alien race. Ender faces many challenges throughout his time at the camp but quickly surpasses all his peers. One major challenge Ender has is fitting in. Since he is so talented a lot of kids pick on him. The people who run the camp realize t and decide to make him general of the human army. Ender is faced with his biggest test yet to destroy the aliens. Will Ender prevail, or die trying?

     I really enjoyed Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card because of the Science Fiction genre, the superb characters, and finally the phenomenal setting. I liked the science fiction genre because almost anything can happen. For example when Ender is sent to have a practice battle in an anti-gravity chamber with freeze rays. Ender is one of the most well-created characters i've ever found in a book. Card allows you to get to know Ender in such a way that you feel you're right there with him. For example when Ender is fighting the aliens you find yourself sweating nervously even though you are not actually there. The military training base at which most of the book takes place is a unprecedentedly wonderful setting. Imagine a space station at which they train some of the highest level soldiers from when they are 13 years old to 26. This is an amazing book that will capture your imagination and keep you on the edge of your seat.
