I have never really called myself a fan of science fiction, and very rarely enjoy a novel in the genre. Someone recommended Ender's Game, suggesting that it would change my opinion. As an English Teacher, I have read my fair share of books, and I was particularly enthralled in this one.

I won't regurgitate the plot, as that can easily be found on one of many websites, but the strength of the writing, and the emotional journey that the reader follows as Ender realises his fate is gripping.

The description of Ender's interaction with other characters,and the development of his relationships allows your imagination to delve into his world. If you enjoy being transported to places worlds away this is definitely a book worth reading.

Many websites place this book in their top-ten. I completely agree. It is an absolute pleasure to read; shocking, twisting and lurching along and carrying you with ease along the way.
