Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
The story of a genius child training to battle an alien species. Not only very entertaining but also critically acclaimed. It won the Hugo and Nebula and has been on several military leadership reading lists. [0] I loved it as a teenager and recently reread it and still loved it.

- astrange 12y agoHe wrote himself into a corner within two sequels, so try not to read any of his other books afterward.
- acheron 12y agoI still think Speaker for the Dead is worth reading, and there's no reason you can't stop after that.
- crazy1van 12y agoPersonally, I also loved Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide even though they are very different from Ender's Game. The ones that came later I also enjoyed but not nearly as much as the first three.
- bsder 12y agoHe didn't write himself into a corner; he was trying to shoehorn in his religion.
- tomsthumb 12y agoThis is true and being downvoted. The shoehorning didn't really show up until Xenocide when he was softballing himself counterpoints and whiffing them mightily. It was sad seening as how Speaker for the Dead was so spectacular.
