Ender's Game and Beyond

I just finished reading Ender's Game the other day and I didn't think it wasn't awesome. I quite enjoy to read science fiction novels and Ender's Game is now added to my list of the greatest. I will now be writing about the novel so if you haven't read it and plan to then I suggest you remove yourself from this site. Proceed with caution.
I quite enjoyed how Ender has an advanced mind and is considered a genius but still has his "I'm still a child" moments. It shows that even though this is the future, the humans are still humans. Children cry, children are vulnerable, not everyone gets taken away from someone they love and just forgets about that person. Ender did it right.
I was also a fan of the fact that it wasn't really a game. Didn't see that one coming! I liked the twist, it rocked the boat. I like reading books that can surprise me it makes the book much more awesome.
Throughout the entire novel Ender was being manipulated in order to be who he needed to be. He was able to figure out that he was being used by the teachers for some reason or other but he never guessed that every move he made was carefully thought out in order for him to act a certain way. Ender was who the teachers made him but he always kept a part of who he was hidden inside of himself. He knew if he lost it he would lose the whole game.
Thank you to Nicool for telling me to read Ender's Game, you know best.
Now I'm beginning the long journey that is Les Miserables. I started it yesterday and I'm at 46 of 1263. Going strong.

It's summer, go read something, this is t-bear signing off
