I am a student at a southern Californian high school and what motivated me to read this book is that my teacher assigned Ender’s Game to my class and I. I believe that reading the book and discussing it to other students in my class makes me qualified to comment on this novel.
The reason I liked the story is because it kept to the point and never drifted off subject. There are some parts of the book that might get confusing, but eventually it will make sense. Throughout the book there were many characters to recognize, with difficult and confusing names. Even though there were a lot of people they all had a major part in the story to make it a distinctive but recognizable story. The story was enjoyable learning from the side of *SPOILER* Valentine, Peter, and Ender *END SPOILER*.
Orson Scott Card’s writing style made reading this story exciting to read. The pacing was terrific for me. The story moved smoothly and that is why it is an exhilarating book. The characters in the story were so developed that I felt the emotions that they felt. The author made it happen by connecting the story to modern problems such as racism. The reading level story is recommend to high school student but if you are advanced enough, then anyone could really enjoy this book. Orson Scott Card made this book enjoyable by creating a lengthy series of other books that span from learning about *SPOILER* Bean and the Buggers*END SPOILER*.
The book uses some literary techniques to express what is going on. Ender is the author surrogate by he is the main character and narrator of the story, you feel the story through his eyes and experience what he goes through in the story. The author uses foreshadowing to display what will happen in the near future. He hints to an event that is occurring later by using some symbolism of such like *SPOILER* the giant and also the mirror *END SPOILER*. In Ender’s Game, Ender *SPOILER* figures out that he has killed the bugger species accidentally and notices what he has done was horrific*END SPOILER*. The author twists the plot to make it an even interesting story then it really was.
This book could be enjoyed to anyone with high school level reading or higher. This book is recommended to anyone and I suggest to reading it.
