Summary: Ender's Game kept me enertained to the last word.
Review: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is an excellent book. I gave it five stars because it kept me entertained for hours. I loved the reality of the situations that Ender was put into and could often relate to them too. He was teased from the time he was born because he was "the third". The population regulation laws prohibited more than two children in a family, but he was a special case. He was always the brightest student in the calss and discovered things that even his teachers didn't know. This only opened more doors to taunting and torture by the other kids. The taunting was both realistic and familiar. I could relate to the taunting, and think it's a lot of what really made this book come alive for me. At age six Ender was chosen to go into space. This caused his brother, who already hated him to a murderous state, to hate him even more. His sister still loved him though, and she was, in his view, the only one who loved him. In his launchie group he was again subjected to torture. When he finally did make friends he was ripped away from them again. I personally can relate to that and think a lot of other people can too, that, I think, is why I liked the book so much.

Review: I do a book of the week for a message board online, and when I finished this, I knew it was the first one. It's a great read, and if you have an active immagination, you will accually visualize your self in it. It's got that much description.

Review: The book captures Ender's emotions and transfers them to you, the reader, you feel the agony of defeat and the satisfaction of success. If you open the first book you will read the whole series.

Summary: Incredibly touching, beautiful book
Review: How can I describe such an amazing book in less than a thousand words? Ender's Game is the best adult's book I have ever read (and I started reading at age 2) and to call it science-fiction is barely true. It's an intriguing, spirited human tale that I can often relate to. I buy cargo pants so I can carry my dog-eared, beat-up copy of Ender's Game in my pocket wherever I go. I'm eleven (I read this book when I was nine) and I've read thousands, probably tens of thousands of books in my relatively short lifetime and because I'm a really intellectual kid, I can relate to Ender (especially in the beginning, I haven't been in space yet :::smiles:::). This is a perfect specimen of the ideal book for any kid OR adult to read. I fell in love with Ender's Game when I was pretty little, and still I'll just sit down with it if I'm in a bad mood and read it through and by the time I'm done, I'll have a smile on my face. So if you're ever in need of a good book to read, Ender's Game is what you should be reading. Get it from the library, get it from a friend, the bookstore, or from amazon.com, just get it and read it. Thanks for reading- and c'mon, people, let's get the average review up to 5 stars!

Summary: A thrilling look into the near future of a young man!
Review: Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card, is a great book. There are many things about it that are hard to find in some of todays sci-fi. One of those things is a main character that you begin to feel sorry for from the very beginning. Andrew (Ender) Wiggin is a Third. He is the third child in a family and in a world where population rules govern, this is very awkward for Ender to deal with. Since Ender was born, he has been watched by the government. A small box on the back of his neck, known as a monitor, watches and relays everything he does back to the I.F., the International Fleet. As soon as the monitor is removed, Ender's problems begin. His brother starts picking on him again, because the monitor is gone so their parents won't be told of the fight. At school, a bully starts a fight with Ender and no one will come to save him this time. After he finally gets home, the I.F. comes for him. The International Fleet has been using the monitors for the last 100 years to find the person that can save mankind again. The Buggers, a race of evolved insects with a hive-mind and extremely advanced technolody, have almost killed the whole human race twice. Any child that shows potential to be a great leader in the fight for manking will be sent to The Battle School. The Battle School is in space and no one is allowed to leave for home until the age of at least 16. Everyone starts at The Battle School at age six. The only this that matters at the school is The Game. It is a game in zero-gravity, a war simulation. Army leaders have an army of 40 boys and the must freeze their opponents, with laser guns, and enter the enemies gate to win the game. Ender must make the decision to go to the battle school or not. This is where the story unfolds. As a book, Ender's Game is a great and legendary story that will grow into a saga as Orson Scott Card adds books to the set. Ender's Game is a highly recommended book that will surely stimulate you mind for months to come.

Summary: Ender's Game Transcends Typical Science Fiction
Review: Reading Ender's Game in the sixth grade was an invaluable academic, as well as entertaining, experience. I'm all grown up now, and I long, sometimes, for those days of my youth. Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game has found its place in the pantheon of American Nostalgia.

Summary: Well crafted, but will disappoint the mature reader.
Review: Following a veritable blizzard of recommendations for this book, I finally decided to read Ender's Game. What I found was an exciting well-written novel, with just one key problem: Card doesn't respect his reader, and thus the novel is predictaable. I know something of Science-Fiction, having read it for many years. I wasn't expecting another Dune or Foundation, but to rank this novel among them is a horrible mistake. There was never a time in this book when I was not at least a page ahead of the author, usually further. The surprise ending should not have been a surprise to anyone who has dabbled in short science-fiction. One ought to read Ender's Game, and enjoy it, and perhaps even cerish it, but to rank it among the best Science-Fiction written is folly.

Summary: A five-star book for more than one reason!!!
Review: This book has earned five star status for being outstanding by being accessible to its readers. Ender's story can be a light read or a novel to ponder over. It all depends on the reader. For the light readers, this novel flows smoothly,and the action keeps things going while remaining enjoyable. Although the book goes fast, the character Ender Wiggin stays in your mind forever(or at least for an extremely long period of time). For the heavy, ponderous readers, this novel contains many moral questions to mull over. For example, do the ends justify the means? Do the officials in charge have the right to train Ender ruthlessly, risking his physical and mental health to get a chance to save the world? Another question that springs forth is, "can individual rights be forfeited for society as a whole?" These questions and others provide the deep reader with "food for thought." Satisfying the needs of both the light and heavy reader, Ender's Game can be enjoyed by readers of all ages and ways of thinking. It truly deserves to be called a "five-star" book.

Summary: Another superb sci-fi novel written by one of the best.
Review: After a friend recommended I read "Ender's Game" I was already intrigued by just the cover. I'm not a real big sience-fiction fan but I would advise anyone to not let this one pass them by. The author allows you to feel what the main character is going through good and bad times and won't let you put the book down with every page more exciting than the previous one.
