Enders Game For Me -Edwardt

For me, Enders game has certainly made its mark. Every year I rate the books that I read, in class and at home. I run through them in my mind and decide which ones made my top list. So far my Class tables stand as follows:

1)   LOTF

2)   Enders game

3)   Fahrenheit 451

4)   The Phantom Tollbooth

Yes, thats how they stand. I started Enders game thinking it would be a sort of Fahrenheit 451. Even though written around the same period and dating into the future, they both tell very different stories. While Ray Bradbury tells a slightly more realistic prediction of the future, Awesome Scott Card tells of many futuristic things that are much like many things we have today.

I quite like futuristic novels as you can judge them and predict how realistic they actually are. Both books lead (or are leading) to what looks like a sort of World War III. While Enders game looks a lot further into the future than F 451, Ray Bradbury predicts the future in other ways. In that way, it reminds me of the books 1984 and Brave New World.

On the whole, I am very much enjoying Enders game and can't wait to see what happens next!
