![]() Ok, for those of you who have read this book. but I did have to remove a star for sure. ![]() It wasn't such a problem that I wouldn't recommend the book. ![]() There's a fairly large subplot, and I felt that subplot was wrapped up primarily with narration at the end. If you haven't read it yet, however, I just felt that the ending sort of strained credulity. DO NOT GO THERE unless you want the book ruined for you. Unfortunately there's no way to discuss my issues without revealing major spoilers, so I'm going to scroll way down for this part of the discussion. However, I had some issues with the ending. The main character, Ender, is definitely the type of character that you root for. ![]() I don't read a lot of science fiction (or any), so for me, the plot line was very original and definitely grabbed my interest and wouldn't let go. ![]() Most of the book focuses on the training of Ender (think futuristic boot camp!) to command an incredibly important mission. It touches on a lot of coming of age themes - from self reliance to handling of bullies to developing friendships.Įnder Wiggin is identified as a child with very unique traits, and he is taken by the military to be prepared for a special career in the military. The pace is very fast and the writing and characters are completely engaging. ![]()
