Why I love Ender's Game

There's only one author that I would consider my favorite would be Orson Scott Card, especially in his book Ender's Game. While I must admit that some of his later books drag on, his style of writing has been a consistent favorite of mine since I first read the book in elementary school. In analysis of why I like the book so much I can see few reasons. First and foremost he nearly tells the full story from Ender's eyes which accomplishes two things. First it makes Ender feel much more of a real character; you can feel his feelings, know his thoughts, and stay current to his every move. Second, this allows for information to be carefully controlled, which means that you are unaware of things happening in the book until Ender himself finds out, which creates small surprises that keep the story suspenseful. Card also develops Ender into a very deep character who has many moral conflicts within himself. You can see throughout the book how Ender's thinking process works  and how he deals with the challenges that were placed in front of him throughout the book.
The book deals with many topics of humanity, war, and interpersonal conflicts explained through throughout, and contrasts between characters with other characters providing clear contrasts in thinking and development. Peter, Ender's brother, provides somewhat of a villain, but also an antihero. He is portrayed as an evil child who plots to seize power, yet at the same time has opinions and principles that you can't entirely disagree with. It creates a paradox of Peter being evil, yet at the same time liked as a character. For these and other reasons, Ender's Game has been my favorite book for years.
