ENDERS GAME "When you fight an enemy‚ you can’t just win the fight. You have to knock them so far back that they won’t fight anymore. You have to win the battles to come before they happen.” A good quote from the character Ender Wiggin. I read the book Enders Game written by Orson Scott Card.

The Hunger Games was an amazing book. It was amazing how Suzanne Collins imagination made up Panem‚ which is the future‚ ruins of North America and how it was divided up into twelve districts.
