(spoiler alert) 
 I had high hopes for Ender's Game because I'd had it recommended to me by several people I respect.. but honestly, I found it a bit of a let down. The story is interesting enough, but the main character is a little TOO good at everything. Blah blah, Ender has another insurmountable challenge, he gets through it fine,he has to do something violent, but he hates violence, but he has to, and he realizes he's being played... rinse, repeat. For me to empathize with a character, they have to be a little bit more flawed than Ender.
