Due to Bunny's endless coercion, I have finally finished Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game.

The book is quite adult-oriented, yet still approachable.

The kids are so precocious (even more so than Bunny), so much so that it's simply unreal, and I have trouble accepting that an 11 year old boy can save the world.

The characters are mostly male, but then Battle School sounds like something males would be more oriented towards.

It's quite sad to see how the kids are force grow up as they exploit the urges of the little boys to play soldier. They effectively have no childhood, and many of them become vicious monsters.


Irritating/funny quotes:

"I can't do a weekly column," Valentine said. "I don't even have a monthly period yet." (...)

"Early to bed and early to rise," Mazer intoned, "makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes."


Finally, something from Melvin Tay Poh Huat that isn't porn!
