When I read this book the first time, I sat down to write a letter to the author. It moved me a lot. I felt like someone understood me - what it means to be a gifted, intelligent child. It is a brilliant sci fi story that I first read in Swedish (Enders spel). At first I thought it would be about ducks (ander) - I was reading some books from China at the time, so it felt like another poetic title, like Harvest Moon Daughters or something similar. 
 A female friend lent me the book. I can still remember it - it was black, hardcover, the glossy protective cover missing. 
 When I read it today, I am still moved and I still appreciate the unique quirks of the story - the AI, the Buggers, the surveillance. It has a very unique quality and I would recommend it to anyone. 
 The "read" date is from the second time I read it.
