The Lead In: Science fiction was something I gave up on a long time ago. I judge it very harshly because the author’s can create situations and settings which no other author can duplicate, which I guess might be harder, but to me seems easier. You can operate outside all the rules. Come on.
The 411 on the 55: Ender is the third child in a country that has strict limits on births. He’s an exception to the rule, he’s a third. His older brother, Peter, and his sister, Valentine, each had great potential but failed at the government administered tests for the I.F., a starfleet-type program to protect Earth from aliens (buggers). Ender passed.
He joins the I.F. training school and promptly makes an enemy out of his commander, an older boy with a bad attitude.
Line of the Day: “He was afraid, and fear made him serious.” pg 28
Fact on the Fiction: “There hasn't been any news on the movie recently. However, it has been announced that there will be a comic book based on Ender's Game, published by Marvel comics, that will be released this fall.” Endersgamemovie
