I borrowed Enders Game by Orson Scott Card from someone and I cannot remember who lent it to me! Eeeps, I am usually very careful and remember who I borrowed what, so I can return it to the owner. But, I cannot. So, if you are the person who lent it to me, please forgive the oversight and let me know, so that I can thank you for sharing this with me.

I started reading Enders Game about 3-4 months ago, and intense and engrossing as it was, I couldn't bring myself to read beyond Enders life in Battle School. When I finally picked it up on this long Sunday lazy afternoon, it was with a mixed feeling of eager anticipation and dread of what may the next things for Ender. As the pages turned my dread increased, rather the calming down. When I started on the section with Ender meeting Mazer Rackham, that I was sure that Ender was being used in 'real' versus a 'simulated' wars. Despite this knowledge, I could not stop reading, I needed to know how Ender would handle this knowledge. I really did not care whether he won or lost against the buggers. I mean it was nice to have won, but at what costs? The book really became a page turner (both ways). I re-read the sections of what Ender does with the knowledge of buggers and Speaker of Dead, and everytime I read the section, I find different points of view, sometimes from Peters perspective, sometimes from Val or Ender or even the Buggers.

A good book! I recommend it, as do the zillion people who have read it.
