Ender's Game

Ender's Game was the first true book I've ever read. It made me want to read more books, where previously I had no interest. I couldn't possibly imagine how could there be a story so good, and I was not aware of it.

Although not heavy on Science Fiction, it also surprised me that I could be interested in a genre other than Fantasy.

Ender is an intelligent and reasonable character. The book does not offend your intelligence with stupid situations
