Ender's Game

This book was definately a much easier read, because the idea of international military forces selecting Ender Wiggin to save the world from destruction was definately more interesting. His accounts of relationships with his brothers and peers at school forshadows isolation that he would learn to be comfortable with, making Battle School mentally easier. Finally, as he moves up in the ranks of the military, he begins making friends, for example Alai after the two of them learn to navigate through null gravity. Remarkably, when he was nine years old he was platoon leader in the Phoenix army yet depressed and stuck in the mind game. Throughout the novel, he is an fascinating charecter because he not only leads with tremendous resolve and fiercely disallows anything to get in his way.
