Summary: Kids stuff
Review: Not worth the time to read it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: READ THIS BOOK
Review: Ender's Game is one of the best books I've ever read. In fact, several years ago when I read it for the first time I liked it so much that as soon as I finished reading the last page I flipped right back to the beginning and read it again. Recently, I decided to read Speaker for the Dead (the sequel to Ender's Game) it too is a good book, but Ender's Game is easier to identify with. This book won the Hugo and Nebula awards, however, I think that it deserved every other award that books can recieve. I recommend it to everyone, young and old (although I'm not sure what six month olds would get out of it), if you have never read this book you should get yourself a copy and read it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Life Changing
Review: This book changed my life. I have read every edition of it, and I have read it in two languages. For every child who has ever felt grown up, and for every adult who longs for their childhood. This is your book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GREAT BOOK!
Review: My sister recommended this book to me and I was kind of reluctant cause I never read science-fiction. But I finished this book in 2 days. It was so good. I've never read anything like it and I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Umm... Wow
Review: this book left me rather drained after finishing it. from the first chapter to the last, it was very good.

i was amazed when i looked at the copyright date in the front. 1977!? some of this stuff could have been written in 97. the "desks" were a perfect discription of laptop computers. the video games were disturbingly close to modern games. and the "Nets"... he even got the name right!

i have to say though, some parts were kind of hard to read. it was actualy heartbreaking, reading how ender wiggin was tortured by his peers and minipulated by his teachers. these parts were a bit disturbing, but i would never dream of turning anyone off from this book.

and the ending.. i admit, the very end was rather wierd, but i loved the climax of battle school. i wont say anythng about it, in case you havnt read it yet, but it was good.

also, about the people who gave enders game a 1 star. first, i notice that not a single one of the critics left an email address, and few even left their name! opinions aside, that is just plain cowardly. READ ENDERS GAME! This is the best book i have ever read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book plays on so many different levels
Review: This is quite possibly the best book i've ever read. Everyone can relate to it in one form or another. Although set in a futuristic atmosphere, this is the basic stuggle of a boy going through life and the lessons he learns. Perfect for all ages. Children would love the futuristic elements, while older readers will look at it more indepth. This book has taught me so much about myself, concepts about my personality in relation to Ender, How we're the same and how we're different, it really turned another page on my life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Book I've Read
Review: This is the best book I've ever read. It was hard starting it, because the setting didn't connect to me at first, but after about 10 pages I became really interested and as I continued reading I couldn't stop. 'Ender's Game''s characters are well-thought out and well-planned, extremely realistic, and the main characters aren't brainless nice guys as in some other books I've read. If you've got an ability to read English, and you're over five years old, I think you'll enjoy it. While some people might think that the book is childish when I say I'm twelve years old and I read it, it is not so- the book isn't your normal fairy tale for children. It describes human motives very realistically, which makes it somewhat dark- but after you read it, it will get to your heart. It's a story about a group of genius children who were made to be geniuses not by genetic engineering but by training, and planned environments. They are sent to the Battle School to be additionally trained. This story mainly revolves around Ender's life in the Battle School, but it also revolves around Peter, Ender's sadistic brother, and Valentine, Ender's loved sister. The ending was a big suprise, but one I loved. I recommend this for children like me who always wish for a more intelligent crowd surrounding them, and for adults who enjoy a good read- not only sci-fi ones, because originally I didn't like science fiction books because of the cliched plot, but this one got me into searching for good science fiction books like this. Read it.

Summary: THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!
Review: This is a FANTASTIC BOOK! I am serious! I loved it SOOOOOO much. I read the hole thing in a day. IT WAS GREAT!! I loved every word of it!! I would recommend this to EVERYBODY!! The author made it relistic and used fantasic words to discribe what happends. And the story is down to Earth - something in reason of what could happen in 100 or so years. Great book!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a fabulous book
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. Very well written. I don't usually like stories about boys, or about war. But this one is different. I could get into the main character (Ender) and really connect with him. Oh, and contrary to some other reviews I have seen here, this is also not a "children's" book, although kids might enjoy it.
