Summary: on my top ten
Review: I'm not the sci-fi or fantasy type, but this is one of my all-time favorite books because 1) It spoke directly to me (in other words, I identified with the characters) and 2) it caused me to reexamine my world because of the unexpected conclusions the book reached.

Summary: Ender's Game
Review: Ender' Game is the best book I have ever read. It is a very deep complex book, full of emotion and action. This book starts out in the life of a six-year-old prodigy named Ender Wiggin. After close monitoring, the IF(International Fleet) sends him to battle school out in the depths of space. Already, we have the futuristic twist of space inhabitation. Out in space Ender is trained for advanced battle calculations, and has to learn to get along with his cruel peers. He is manipulated all of the time by the administrators of the school. Everything is controlled, based on the fact that one-day humanity will depend on these kids to save the world.
Orson Scott Card really outdid himself with this book. Even with the twist of the future, Card really keeps you feeling that the book is realistic, in terms of what the future might be like. The manipulation of the teachers seemed so ridiculous to Ender, for he could outsmart their every move. But, from the reader's point of view it seems like it is reasonable, considering how this world is really run. Card really puts realistic emotion into all of the children and not to mention the cruel but concerned adults. You feel like you are inside all of the characters.
The relationship between all of the characters is very complex. Ender was bullied all throughout the story, but the worst case was by his brother. When I read this story I really felt for Ender and his hardships. Ender's sister Valentine was the closest to Ender. She always stood up for him and loved him. I really enjoyed the love between them in the story. Card made their relationship outstanding, and I always enjoyed reading about their interactions. I adored this book and I hope that you will to!

Summary: The best I have ever read!
Review: This is without a doubt, the best read I have ever enjoyed. I finished the book in one sitting the first time. Three other cover to cover reads since. I also enjoy randomly opening this book and just start from there. Only Hitchhikers Guide rivals this for pure pleasure. Thank you for this one Mr. Card! This book repeatedly transports me into another universe, and I always miss the people in the book each time i put it down.

Summary: Ender's is the Beginning
Review: There are few works in Sci-Fi that I maintain in my permanent book collection. This is one of them. Some of the others in no particular order of significants are as follows. The Time Machine and War of the Worlds/ H.G. Wells, Blood Music/ G. Bear, The Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog/ C. Willis, Earth Abides /G. Stewart, Seventh Son and Red Prophet/ O.S. Card, Brave New World/ A. Huxley and finally 1984/ G. Orwell (yeah, I know, the last two aren't really science fiction anymore.)These books are classic for their own individual reasons. Cutting edge, thought provoking, or just downright entertaining. I would not be ashamed to pass any of these on to others or my kids as being highly recommended. There is no real need to expound on the content of the book because many have already done so and the total number of reviews at the top of this page speak volumes already. It is a Sci-Fi must read. Go get it!

Summary: Incredible Literature
Review: Throughout my life I have read books from every genre of reading known to man. The latest book, or series, I should say, was by Orson Scott Card. In my opinion I can honestly say that Card is the greatest author in science-fiction history, and possibly the history of fiction all together.
His ideas are and characters are masterfully drawn, his stories are incredibly captivating, and there is an underlying philosophy throughout every book in the Ender and After Ender series.
Ender's Game is a wonderfull read, to put it mildly, and will not dissapoint. I can guarantee you'll finish this book quicker than you've finished any other before, because frankly, you can't put it down.

Summary: Exceptional Science Fiction
Review: I used to be an avid science fiction book reader, but it eventually all seemed pretty boilerplate and repetetive, so I stopped. Ender's Game was a surprisingly good and new welcome back to science fiction. I'd recommend it to anyone normally wary of science fiction.

Summary: One of the best sci-fi books ever written
Review: Personally, I had never even heard of this book until a friend recommended it to me. But when I picked it up, I could not put it down. Very few books ever had that effect on me. What makes this book so great is its characters. The main character Ender was especially interesting. He was drafted to attend "Battle School" at a very young age learn to lead the human race against the alien "Buggers", and was separated from his family. He was bullied by his brother at home, and bullied at school (both at his regular school and at the "Battle School"), but he eventually becomes the reluctant hero in mankind's fight against the "buggers". I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys compelling storytelling and characters.

Summary: ENDer is just the BEGINNING
Review: Many adults I have spoken to hate sci-fi books. Again and again i recommend this book to them, telling them that it is not just a sci-fi book, one that you read one page and are utterly lost...but a wonderful plot that shows the imagination of a great author. Orson Scott Card is an author that writes as if he has lived his books and adventures. Ender's Game is the first book in the Ender Series. It is about a boy named Ender who, in the future, is recruited to Battle School...a school that teaches and produces commanders and navigators for the International Fleet from boys as young as six. The "buggers" are a new species that the world believes is trying to wipe out the human race. The IF is looking for one person to command their fleet...to rage war on this species, and win. And that person, that boy, is Ender Wiggin. He leaves his life behind and travels into space to join Battle School, not knowing he is special. But the Buggers are not the only obstacle he has to face. The students themselves, being alone...not able to make friends, Ender has to fight for not just his life and the lives of others, but for his happiness. I used to hate sci-fi books too. But this book is more than a sci-fi novel. It is a book that you will cherish and read over and over. It is a book I am proud to give 5 stars. Orson Scott Card is a genius, just like his Ender, and the book is an adventure waiting just for you.
