I'd heard some good things about this book, Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. (I was pretty sure Zoe's story about Iggy and the Vampire Academy [or whatever it was called . . . it's been a while] was based off this book. And the premise was amazing. So I was looking forward to reading this.)
I enjoyed it immensely. It lived up to my expectations and even passed them. (I've got rather high expectations.) The twist ending was really amazing.
Stars: 9.5, because . . . I never really give anything a complete 10 stars. I believe that books are amazing, but I can always find something that I disliked.
Violence: 8. Ender fights several people who attack him. Two he kills because he goes too far.
Romance: 2 for slight references to . . . parts. Mainly in the cussing sense.
Language: 8 for intense cussing. B-words floated all over the place with Ender and his pals in null gravity.
Appropriate for: older kids

Amazing book, and I agree with the review (although the romance score would probably be a bit more relevant in language). I personally suggest reading the Shadow series (Ender's Shadow, etc), revolving around Bean, as I find them significantly more interesting than the books revolving around Ender.
