Entry of My Choice

Thoughts about this book…:)

To be honest, in the beginning the only reason I chose to read Ender’s Game was because it seemed like an easy book to read. The cover didn’t really attract me; neither did the short description on the back. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it; in fact, I was preparing myself for the long tedious task of reading it. However, I was in for a surprised; I thoroughly enjoyed the book!
Ender’s Game really grabbed my attention, I couldn’t put it down. I think one of the reasons it captured me was that it always had something suspenseful going on. I can’t think of a time in the book when there wasn’t any action. This book was lively and didn’t have any dull parts.
I also like how Orson Card wrote the book. I don’t like reading fluffy books filled with impossible vocabulary. I like books that have some flare and voice in their writing, but still is easy to understand. I found that Card’s voice was like that, and I like his style of writing. It was sort of simple, but it clearly brought across the message.
Another reason Ender’s Game interested me was that I could relate to the character. In Fahrenheit 451 I couldn’t really relate to Guy. Guy didn’t seem like a real person. But I can relate to Ender. Ender seems more like an actually person who could possibly be alive today. When Ender felt sad, I felt sad, and when Ender felt happy, I felt happy.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I think it is a superb book full of action. I would recommend anyone to read it. Ender’s Game is a captivating book and I’m pretty sure that if you read it, you won’t be able to put it down. Just like I couldn’t.
