Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card Science Fiction Review #1 * * * * Stars (Great!) Ender’s Game was interesting because of the way it viewed the psychological aspects of children when subjected to war versus an alien race. The only reason I didn’t give the book five stars is because the end of the story got drab and boring very quickly. Overall, Ender’s Game was a good book, possibly worthy of 4 1/2 stars.
