Ender’s Game is one of the best books I’ve ever read – Don’t judge a book by its shitty back-cover summary

I finished Ender’s Game last week, and what a brilliant book it is. It was sitting on my shelf for 2 years because I ordered it online and lost all interest in reading it after reading the back cover summary “a 6-year-old trying to save the world from bugs” made me think it’s a book for 6yo.But I am so glad that I did. The story was great and the story-telling was superb, it kept my interesting trough the whole story, and made Ender feel relatable and real. Which is so rare in this genre that is dominated by 1 dimensional “boring hero” characters.The story of his growth and becoming more mature with each chapter, but still facing the same problems. Toward the end I was sure that there is a second book, because I thought there is no way they wrap it up in 50 pages, so it gave me a mind blown moment. Coming back to the game, to Peter, to his traumas and it all build up so perfectly toward the entire story, it’s one of the most complete books I’ve read.This book has ruined my standards and I know future books going to let me down now in comparison to this one. via /r/books https://ift.tt/3AlY4b9
