I might be a little behind the times, but I had to blog about this book.  If you have never read a Science Fiction novel before, then Ender’s Game is the one you want to start with.  If you are a Science Fiction fan, then you want to read Ender’s Game anyway.

I had a hard time putting this book down.  It’s a story about a time when people are only allowed to have two children unless special dispensation is given for what is called a third.  By having a third you are giving up your right to the third child in the event the military finds him/her suitable for military service.

The story is about a boy nicknamed Ender. He was a third.  Put into military training at a young age and groomed to be the replacement for the hero of the first bug war.

This book makes you feel for the characters.   As though you have a stack in the outcome of their lives.

It’s a fast read and well worth the time.
