I’m not saying that Ender’s Game is a bad book, I’m saying that Ender's Game is a book for its time: 1987. Ender’s Game is a very generic book, that feels very outdated when read now. Ender is a total Mary Sue, perfect in every way but loved by none. Any other characters are either just foil for Ender, like Peter and Bono, or only serve one purpose and have no personality. The plot is boring, and it takes several chapters to get anything done. With a setting of a military school in space, Ender’s Game has to potential to have several subplots to support the main plot and give us a better understanding of the characters. However, there is only one subplot, and it has no impact on the main plot, and goes nowhere. As a result of the bland main character, boring plot and lack of any real originality, Ender’s Game hardly left an impact on me.
