Ender's Game
I had heard a lot of good things about this book and I was therefore excited to read it, although I didn't know the first thing about it. That having been said, you can imagine my disappointment when I found out the main character was a six-year-old kid. But that didn't ruin the book for me. As far as science fiction books go, I always thought you need two things going in order to make it a great book:
1. Originality/Imagination
2. Good plot
A lot of times these tie in together. As far as Ender's Game goes, I thought it was kind of lacking in both. The imagination was kind of cool because as a kid I always wanted to go to space camp, so it brought back memories, but it could have been better. And I didn't think the plot flowed very well at all.
The ending was a huge disappointment to me (SPOILERS). He's got this simulated fight against all of these buggers, wins, and then he finds out that it was real. I don't get it.
Overall, I still liked this book, but it is NOT the best science-fiction novel ever written, which is what a lot of people seem to think.
