As promised, here comes Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. It was dangerous, fun, intellectual, and very hard to relate to. At least for me.
This isn't an insult, I promise. It's simply a fact of the matter cause let's be honest here, NONE of us are six year old geniuses. And yet, even though Ender is so young, his intelligence was believable somehow. The whole set up of the story was perfect and you can almost literally see this little boy growing up, breaking down, his entire thought process.
Ender Wiggin is my precise definition of pure courage when he needs it. Even when he wasn't trying to have it, he portrayed it so evidently that it couldn't be ignored.
I loved the way Card wrapped everything up; how he brought you right back to the beginning of the book. It was unique.
And FYI, no, I have not seen the movie but I've heard only good reviews on it (And Asa Butterfield has the most perfect American accent and voice-yes, I know he's British)

Enders game is one of my favorite books ever. I read it last year in English and then went on to read the whole series and part of beans series :). Taking a break now to read divergent lol. By the way check this out. http://m.us.wsj.com/articles/BL-SEB-80307
