Ender's Game: Book Report.

Ender's Game is a book about a war between humans and aliens, life and death, love and hate, childhood and adulthood, and Ender Wiggin against everyone else. It was written by Orson Scott Card and was the winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards. It's about a boy named Andrew, who is better known as Ender, who is suddenly put into a new place, Battle School. However, instead of what he is expecting, becoming part of the group, he is singled out and shoved away from the rest of the group. He is bullied, and the second he finally gets into a good position on the social ladder, he is sent to the bottom of a different one.

In the new team, he makes exactly the wrong friend at the wrong moment, gets shoved to the back of the group, and doesn't do anything in the battles. However, he gets mad, and he doesn't follow the leaders orders and wins a battle for the group. The leader and he get into a fight, and he is traded into a new group. He actually is part of the battles, and changes the game entirely by charging out. He questions authority, and works stuff things that are against him out, but the when he gets comfortable, he gets sent to a new team. His team. He makes a group, he shows he's a commander, and he wins his first game. However, the game seems to change against him, the odds being too small, yet he still wins. Right before he cracks, he is sent away.

Command School is very different then Battle School. Instead of being part of the battle, he commands it, and instead of living it, he sees it from the side lines. He is weirded out by it, but goes along with it. He gets a new enemy, he fights and wins, and then he gets to the biggest challenge. The simulation chamber basically shows the battle, and Ender is given his friends and commanders to help him win every battle on it. However, he finds out, after defeating the last simulation he'd ever play, that it wasn't a simulation. He had been tricked into destroying a entire species on accident. He had a breakdown so bad that he spent a whole week in his chamber. However, he can't go back to his planet, so he leaves for a new one. He and a colonization group go and claim a planet that he had cleared the alien life out of. Since I haven't read the sequel, I can't tell you what happens next. :P
