Ender's Game did something I think a lot more books should do. You know when you read a really highbrow book, and you can't understand the story at all unless you analyze it so hard it might as well be a high school English assignment? And then you read a really lowbrow book, and the only way to analyze it is to look at what stereotypes the author uses, because there's nothing at all to analyze that's intentionally there? Ender's Game has plenty of stuff you can look at through all sorts of critical lenses, picking it apart to see what it MEANS, or you can skip all that and just read it like a lowbrow book. Multiple demographic appeal: it's awwright!

(I also like how even though Card seems to agree with Ender's morality, he spends the entire book showing the ways it can go catastrophically wrong. It's a hell of a lot better than when writers show how someone else's morality can go wrong, while holding up their own morality as pure and infallible. You know, the way Card is doing in his new books.)
