Enders Game ( First Thoughts )

I like Enders Game so far. Although, I can say that it’s very similar in many other books I’ve read in terms of its plot. Such as, The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner and Divergent. Here is the plot based on what I have read thus far. Ender is a genius and is gifted with being more intelligent than some of his classmates. It’s unknown why this is but it can be guessed through the altnernate lines of dialogue at the beginning of each chapter. But Ender is not only a genius, he is also a war expert. He can come up with complex war strategy’s in his head to determine the outcome of certain events. He uses this talent against bully’s at school. This vital brute force is duly noted by whoever is watching him. Ender is then introduced to General Graff, an Ex Military

Marine who is now focused on a program known as battle school. A program that is filled with kids just like Ender who are being trained to fight unknown forces that threat Earth itself. Its definitely very epic in a way and finds a way to not sound generic. Although the only thing I’m not happy with thus far in this book is that it has a dinamic subplot with these kids that like to bully Ender. It’s not the bullying part that upsets me. It’s the fact that this plot has been done a million times, and it’s been done much better. I also think there are many more scenarios that could unfold in a situation like this. But maybe I will find that out later
