What can I say about Ender's Game that hasn't already been said. I guess I will try give something new.
Ender's Game is the story of Ender Wiggen a third. In this day and age familys are only allowed two kids unless the government allows you to have a third kid. In Enders case it was because his brother and sister were both not the correct type of kid for the military school. They were extraordianly smart but not the material for military school. Ender is sent to military school where the government trains genuises in the art of war. The early training at battle school takes the forms of 'games'. Ender excels at this combat and soon breaks all expectations along with winning all his games. He figures out that time is soon running out. The buggers are going to attack sometime in the near future. Will the training be quick and efficient enough to allow Ender the time to defeat the buggers and save the planet?

This book is amazing. The twists and turns are simpily the best I have read in a story in a long time. It cannot come with a high enough recommendation.
