Ender's Game

So the book I'm reading is called Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. At first I thought that Ender's Game was dragging and that because the book was so long that there would be a lot of spaces where the book was really boring. In reality Ender's Game is full of battles, insight and there wasn't ever a place in the book where I wanted to stop reading. So the book is in the genre of futuristic fiction, which really helps the reader understand whats going on in the beginning. So the book is about how there are these aliens called buggers and since they had attacked Earth in the past, the government made up I.F which basically teaches children to becomes soldiers. The thing is that they need to find a commander for fleets heading towards the bugger's world within about twelve years. Because the I.F. need to find a commander for the upcoming Third Invasion every child around the world is inserted a chip in the back of their neck when they are born. This chip is to help the I.F. find the right children for battle school and Ender is one of them. The chip is taken off and Ender is proven battle school material so Ender has to leave his family, to train. Ender doesn't know that he is the one chosen by the I.F. to become commander of the Third Invasion but what he does know is that the teachers of I.F are doing everything they can to make hime the best and really he is.

So the plot, I'd say, starts when Ender is transfered to Commander School several years early, but ready non the less. At Commander School he meet Mazer Rackham the only person who has ever gotten even a little close to understanding the buggers. Mazer is there to teach Ender every thing he knows and he does. Mazer inrolls Ender in a simulator game in which he tries to beat buggers but then Mazer replaces the computer and starts to battle Ender and his team. Ender is given the last test while all the most emportant people from the I.F. are watching. This test is the hardest Ender has ever taken, it seems impossible at first but Ender is able to pass. It all seems great and now Ender feels like he is truly going to be able to be commander, but then Mazer tells him that since Ender started playing agaimst him, Ender has really been in real life missions, only commanding from a computer. This leads to Ender finding out that everything that happened from the moment he stepped into Battle School, all his choices and battles were influenced and planned out because as the teachers said "was for our best". This is the conflict and what Ender needed to do was gain control over his own self before it was to late, for the battle over the buggers was over but the battle over Ender was not.
