#3 Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

There are no bad books on this list, but I keep feeling like I am having the same reaction over and over.  This too is very good.  I have not read much further in the series, but I hear it is worth following thru with. Some day maybe.
He had some pretty accurate predictions about video games used for actual war and the use of the tablet in social life and school.  The book does feel at times like it is a set up for all of the other books that branch out from it.. There are non-central characters that are too fleshed out for the amount of involvement they have in the plot.  I suppose that is meant to keep you coming back for more.

That being said, it has the best depiction of war in space that I have read yet.
I just saw the movie a couple days ago.  Follows the book pretty exactly. Not bad, not great.
