Ender’s Game
Novel
Author: Orson Scott Card
Reviewer: Jon Moss
Reviewer’s rating: 4 stars out of 5
I like
everything about this book, except perhaps the ending. And I can't even say
that I particularly disliked the ending; it just made my soul ache with remorse
and regret - for Ender, for humanity, for the buggers.
The novel was
fast paced and easy to identify with Ender. The ending just left me
feeling extremely sad for all the characters in this story. I shouldn't be
shocked, though, as all conflict could be avoided with open and honest
communication. The level of sacrifice evidence in Ender's story illustrates the
pointlessness of our endeavors when communication is not possible.
Editor’s Note:
If you haven’t read this book in a while—or if you’ve never read it—now might
be a good time! The movie based on this
novel is set to debut in theaters nationwide on November 1, 2013.
