Book review - "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card (1985)

 Took me a while to get through this for whatever reason. Hard to adapt into a film. Smart. Lots of ideas. I'm not wild about these narratives of the chosen one - brilliant child warriors. They're always a little fascist. But interesting. The future seems super depressing. Do columnists really have such impact as implied here? Best sequences are the bullying. Ender doesn't have much of a relationship with anyone except his sister.
