Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
Briana recommended this book to me. I had, to my shame, never read this science fiction classic, perhaps because I assumed I would not enjoy anything from the genre. However, my love for Doctor Who prompted me to give science fiction another chance. I immediately fell in love with the book–its depth, its characters, its sheer humanity. Card makes the readers feel as if he knows and understands them, and it’s almost impossible not to respond to his warmth. Read my review here.

Ender’s Game is a brilliant book.
I know! Now I just have to read the sequels!
I haven’t read any of the sequels either. I view Ender’s Game as perfect on it’s own.
It does work as a perfect standalone, which is perhaps part of the reason I’ve felt no need to run out and get the other books. However, I would like to see where Card takes the characters.
I love that Dr. Who was the motivating factor. My bf is creepily obsessed. I am embarrassed to say I’ve never read this one… And I need to…
I know I regretted waiting so long to read it! ;D
I’ve been very skeptical about this book since I’m not a big sci-fi person, but I think maybe it’s time I gave it a chance!
I was skeptical, too, because I used to think of sci-fi as a bunch of machines, but it can be so much more!
I don’t read much science fiction but I might have to give this book a chance as well- I hear about it so often!
I heard about it a lot, too, which is another reason I finally decided to read it. I like being able to contribute to the conversation now whenever Ender’s Game comes up!
