Andrew C. "Ender’s Game was a very complex book. I liked that the characters were all young and very smart people. You think one thing is going to happen but something else happens along the way. There is violence and leadership and a cool game with lasers. Ender is a good character and I think he’s a good person even if he does violent and bad things. The adults around Ender don’t tell him what’s going on and that makes him choose things that he wouldn’t have chosen otherwise, like sacrificing a lot of people to blow up the
Bugger’s planet. Ender’s Game was a really good book and made me think a lot about how we make choices."
