+ Lord of the Rings for the 21st Century, Part 1?
+ What a deep book!
I kept seeing Ender's Game recommended by others but it seemed like a young adult type book so I moved on several times. I finally couldn't ignore the shear number of 5 star ratings for this book. It lived up to it. I devoured the book in a few days (fast for me.) I was surprised to find that I ...

I know this book is written as a diary, but I do believe that it could have been written much better. It doesn't seem like a fourteen year old girl, maybe an eleven year old, but not fourteen. The main character seems really fake and plastic in the beginning especially.
The story itself, ...
