Summary: A wonderful read
Review: This book is amazing. I love sci-fi and fantasy (as well as the classics), and there are some books that just make you sit down afterwards and think. How can you explain a book like that? How, in 1k words or less, does a person explain a feeling about a book that has affected, in at least a small way, a part of his or her life?I plead with you...if you like science fiction, then this is a great book for you. If you have never really read any sci-fi and want a good book to start you off, here's my suggestion. Oh, I also wanted to say this: some people complained that this was "too much of an easy read." Well, screw that. If you only like books because of big words you probably don't understand anyway, then there are a lot of great books you're going to miss out on. Okay, that's my soap box for the day.

Summary: Exciting, touching, and great to read!
Review: I'm 14 years old and I'm currently reading this book for my English Class. When I had first saw the book, my response was.. "eww yuck." Because I HATE to read sci-fi books!! But this one is different, this one (unlike other sci-fi books with high reading levels) is great! It's exciting and it makes me wonder about the future. I'm still reading it (like half way), and I love it! I guess I'll post another review when I'm done with it.. It's worth it! Anyone would like it, whether you like sci-fi or NOT!!

Summary: I highly recommend Ender's Game!
Review: This is a fantastic book! Orson Scott Card does an excellent job in building the main characterof this tale. Ender is a character worth knowing - intelligent and compassionate, empathic and competitive. I find after a few months or years that I miss him, and come back to read the book again. Ender's Game and it's sequel Speaker for the Dead are my all time favorite novels. Well done, Card!

Summary: An incredible novel
Review: This book is, without any question, the best I've ever read. Ender (Andrew Wiggin) is a young, six-year-old supergenious recruited by an internationally controlled fleet to fight a war against an alien race that has attacked earth twice in the past. A third attack is anticipated, and young men (and occasionally women) are trained to fight from the earliest ages in null gravity and space warfare. I know that the plot sounds wild, but it really is a great novel for a completely different reason: it's analysis of genious, and, much more importantly, what it is like to grow up as one. Ender fights for his life against every imaginable form of assailment against a genious of any age. He also deals with his brother, Peter, and sister, Valentine, two other geniouses who failed to make it into the "Battle School" for two opposite reasons: "excessive hate" and "excessive love". While they have few physical contacts throughout the novel, it is scary to realize exactly how much the trio have in common. I highly reccomend this novel to ANY reader. If you have any questions on life as a genious, don't miss it. It is shaking to the core.

Summary: One of the Best Books Ever
Review: Its written in a way anyone can understand, and has a story that will appeal to anyone's imagination. I read this book about a month ago, and like anything really good, I gotta share the wealth. Whether you like space-ships, aliens, or even science fiction, this book will blow your mind. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Ordinary Genius Saves the Universe
Review: It's hard for an author to write about a character who is smarter than they are. Sometimes it works out, like in Stanislaw Lem's fiction. Here it didn't. Good action, cute end. Harmless writing sytle

Summary: Oh - My - God!
Review: Ender's Game is the first really, really good sci-fi book I've read in a long, long time. Real characters, exciting situations, brutal action... What can I say? Buy this book, read it, and re-read it, you won't regret it. (PS: they're working on a movie adaption, keep you fingers crossed for a good one)

Summary: OK for a quick, easy read
Review: Like many people I suspect, I read this book because of the hype. It was entertaining and an easy read, but didn't leave much of an impact. I didn't mind Card's writing style, rather dull, but to the point. My complaint is how he handled the minor characters, especially Peter. Why even introduce a character if you are not going to develop it in anyway? The psychology of Peter, and for that matter Val, is barely touched upon and then Peter seems to disappear from the story all together, as though the author grew bored with him. It could have been a better story with more character development, as it is, it is still a fairly entertaining and quick-paced story.
