Holy moly, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Absolutely loved it. The ending was chef's kiss good. Although it was published in 1985, the plot holds its own in the modern world, as do the relationships between the characters. Nothing much has changed re bullies and world leaders... With hints of the Hunger Games and Gladiator, I was swept away by the games, the machinations, and the political manoeuvring. 100% recommend.
Orson Scott Card's science fiction classic Ender's Game is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.

Fast, furious, and fabulous, I binge read this in a day! I adored this book. The characters were so real, and whilst I don't live in Melbourne, I have family there so the Toorak character in particular was altogether too accurate! I'll admit I laughed at the similarities to someone I know. Whilst I read this on my kindle, it was definitely a "page turner". We meet young goths, bar owners, librarians, disfunctional families, as well as disfunctional vampires. Every character was so well written, that when "some" of them die/or don't die, you feel the angst. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I initially downloaded this book because I read that the film rights have just been optioned. It will be brilliant on screen!
