It has been a few years since I read this book...but I think I would still list it has one of my favorites.

 

Elantris

By Brandon Sanderson

I am the farthest thing from a SiFi fan. Up until now I have never even picked one up at the library to even look at the cover, in fact I pretty much stay away from that section...you know they are weird stories about weird people (if they are even people). But when a friend suggested I read this book, I thought "why not my last few books have been losers" figuring I would add to the list of books I never want to see again I went to that strange Science Fiction section and took the book home.

BOY OH BOY was I wrong. From the beginning the book caught my attention. If fact, this morning I was about 20 pages away from finishing and I almost skipped a shower to read. It has killed me this week to pay attention to my household duties and more than once Dave come home with no dinner ready, or even thought of. oops.

As far as SiFi goes its not as weird as you would think. In fact the weirdest thing were the names they came up with. It was such a fun book to read and I loved it right down to the last page. It is interesting and has a great moral.

 

I highly suggest you read this one! Even if Science Fiction isn't your thing, this is worth it.

*totally forgot that I read Ender's Game and the sequel in HS. It was long enough ago I should re-read them.
