I finished re-reading this a few weeks ago, but have been out of the country for awhile and unable to post, so I am catching up now. Ender's Game is ... pure genius. I love the character of Ender, and reading about his childhood in Battle School again makes me love him all the more.
Card's writing is poignant and precise. One thing I noticed in this re-reading is that Ender's Game is a lot simpler than the other books in the series. The moral and ethical dilemmas that are typical of Card are still present, but he doesn't spend pages and pages going into agonizing detail over them, as he does in some of the other books; Children of the Mind particularly. Rather, the dilemma is presented and left to Ender, and the reader, to solve. I used to think that this book would be suited for an upperclassmen-level English class, but after this realization I think that it would be perfect for the 10th grade level, maybe even the 9th.
Ender's Game remains one of those books that I simply can't put down, so I recommend it to everyone.
