Ender's Game Book Vs Movie Essay

In 2013, based off of the prestigious science fiction novel, Ender’s Game, was made into the movie. Generally, when a book is made into a movie, it doesn’t do the book justice.

But just remember what I do to people who try to hurt me. From then on you’d be wondering when I’d get you, and how bad it would be. It wouldn’t be this bad. It would be worse,” (pages
