Ender's Game

I finished this scifi classic last night. Long time coming, I know. LOTS to learn about novel crafting from this book, and I was probably only so aware of those elements after reading Card's Characters and Viewpoints book. He crafts the villains perfectly. He plants seed plots so easily. And I can't believe I actually pulled through the action sequences. I usually get so lost in those, I have the hardest time visualizing, but I actualy stuck with him and felt like I got some of it.

The story is different for every reader, but for me Ender's story was all in the internal dialogue. In Ender's Game Card is a master of the internal dialogue, and that's what made this a beautiful story for me that I'll never forget.
