Post your SF reading journal here if you read one of the following books: Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card; Doomsday Book, by Connie Willis; Red Mars, by Kim Stanley Robinson.
I'm reading Ender's game and so far in the first third of the book, i've found it to be very interesting. So far its been simply about a young boy who the military believes to be a genius and they want to teach him the strategy of war. I believe that they are going to make Ender into a great leader and he will lead them to victory. Right now they are isolating him from everything, and most of the kids hate him. i think that as the book goes on he will begin to make more and more friends, and they will in turn become his followers.
My predictions have come true, and Ender is now a good leader here in the second third of the book. He has become a commander and is excelling quite well, but it seems to me that Ender is a little too advanced. It seems to me that he is smarter than everyone else, even those that rank above him and i think that people are under estimating his mind power. I think that Ender is going to show everyone how smart he is in a very drastic way.
Things didnt turn out the way that i thought they were going to in this book. I thought that Ender was going to outsmart every one, but it seems that he was the one that was outsmarted. i actually would have liked it to end differently. like maybe he knew that they were using him to kill the buggers saying it was just games, and he ends upfiguring out a way to stop this attack on them.
Chad M -- You gave some pretty good general comments about the book. I'd actually like to see more of your reactions to the book. I'd also like to see you mention more specific details. Remember to do a final comment about the book.
