Finally, I finished reading "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card. I will start by saying Ender's Game is one of the best science fiction books I have ever read. I cannot say enough good things about it. Great depth and characters.
I'm not sure if the book was specifically written for a youth audience, or if it got coloured as a book for teens because of the age of the protagonist. The title can be considered as a "young adult" title.
Ender's Game is a quick read. The style Orson Scott Card wrothe the book is it's straightforward, not the kind of book in which you need to spend time savouring the language or pondering character motivations. But I am not saying it's an insubstantial book. Far from that! There are some very chewy ethical issues that present themselves, but even if they don't interest you the story moves forward in a compelling way.
Ender's Game makes you think a lot about what "winning" means. Worth reading, good for both kids and adults.
