Ender's Game Really is Ender's Game

So after reading into the book where Ender has to deal with Bonzo, I cannot help but think of this:

This poor guy gets owned, just like Bonzo does. I find it eerie that people have the brain power to actually do this, but smart people will be smart. I really like the book so far, Ender is a very likable character, and you really emphathize for him when he's feeling angry or distressed. His manic depression right now is a bit of a bother, but i'm sure he will pull through. I find it appalling how I.F. is treating Ender, designing tasks and fixing the games just so Dragon Army will lose. Yet Ender pulls through. Nothing can deter his willpower in a fight, and its scary that a 10 year old is this intelligent. I feel like i'm reading into the mind of a 20 year old genius, not a 10 year old. The plot is a bit confusing however. The coincidal events with Val and Peter (super jerk) are confusing, and i fail to see how how a 12 and 14 year old are duping leaders of the world. but its a book, so I guess anything can happen. I hope Ender pulls through, and i'm not going to SparkNotes anything because I actually like the book. Good luck Ender. You're going to need it.
