Ender's Game

Rating:
Summary: This book was the best!
Review: The thing about this book is that it is great. It makes you feel like you are Ender and you're fighting his war along side of him. If sceptics read the rest of the series they would see that Card not only made a great book, but he made an alternate universe where things beyond our imagination occur!

Summary: THE WORST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ
Review: This has to be the worst book I have ever read. I cannot understand why anyone would give it even a satisfactory review. The authors descriptions were so vague that you could not even picture it in even the most beckoned mind. If you are considering buying this book, please reconsider and buy a little more mature book, like Curious George.

Summary: THE BEST BOOK I'VE READ; IT RELATES TO ME
Review: MY MOTHER'S BOYFRIEND BOUGHT THE BOOK AND I WAS READING TIBBITS OF IT AND I TOLD HIM I HAVE TO READ IT, HE WAS IN THE MARINE CORPS SO AND HE'S READ IT. I STARTED TO READ IT AT NIGHT AND IT WAS AROUND 12:30 WHEN I WENT TO BED, BUT I DIDN'T FINISH IT; FIRST THING NEXT MORNING I FINISHED READING IT. THIS IS A VERY FANTASTIC BOOK, I MYSELF WOULD RECOMEND IT FOR ANYONE. IT REALLY HIT HOME FOR ME BECAUSE I'M LIKE ENDER, BUT A FEMALE. I FOUND MYSELF COMPARING ME TO ENDER AND OTHER CHARATERS TO OTHER PEOPLE I KNEW. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY: THAT ANYONE WHO TRIES TO BE THE BEST THERE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW YOU FEEL, NOT JUST ME BUT OTHER PEOPLE AND WE'RE JUST LIKE YOU.

Summary: Great is great today as much as yesterday.
Review: I just had to add my two-cents about this, the best book I've read. I've read the classics, I've read the trash, but it all pales (some comes close, but not very) in comparison to Ender's Game. Ender's Game was "as easy as apple pie" (to make a reference to a now-popular dish/sex toy) to fall into and not be able to stop reading. If you want a good, long book (and this is a rarity- a good AND long book) with a very well thought-out plot, characters that actually make you want to tear their names out of the book, stomp on them and set them afire, a setting that is incredible yet wonderful, and a style that keeps you wanting more from the author (I also read the Homecoming series), read this, you'll thank yourself. Don't mind the revews from the 'TV only, please' viewers, THE BOOK IS GREAT.

Summary: Loved it. Highly recommend it. Great.
Review: Great book about the struggle of a boy commanding tricked into commanding a fleet against an alian race. Great character development. You really get to know the Ender and his internal conflicts. Recommend you read the rest sequels.

Summary: An excellent part of an amazing whole
Review: In response to many of the negative reviews I have read regarding "Ender's Game", I wish to clarify one point: Card planned on writting an entire series from the beginning. In "Ender's Game" you are introduced to the characters, their flaws, their adversaries, and their solution. The hard sci-fi and groundbreaking new ideas come later, in "Speaker of the Dead", "Xenocide", and "Children of the Mind". So, if you decide to read the first book... by all means read the entire series. You will be more enriched for the experience.

Summary: ENDER RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: OK, I realize I'm only going to be the 700-something review but this book deserves 5 stars! Ender's Game is amazing and although the genius kids at the Battle School are kind of psychotic, they make the book really interesting. I didn't like Ender's character that much in this book though ... he was a little too violent but you have to respect a guy who can kill two punks with his bare hands. The only thing about him that was really normal was his attachment to Valentine. I hated Ender's brother, Peter. Graff basically summed him up when he said Peter had "the soul of a jackal." The parts about the Battle School are the best sections of the book because that's when they go in-depth about the training and the real genius of the battle school kids. Of course, Ender was the best of all of them but I also liked Bean and Dink. I've read all the sequels to this book and can't wait for Ender's Shadow to come out!!!

Summary: A BAD BOOK MADE EASY
Review: I have to agree with the readers from Greenlawn, New York and Houston, Texas. This book is a disgrace to the sci-fi community. Even the slightest consideration of the possibility of a little boy conquering the aliens is implausible. The major characteristic of Ender being his astonishing analytical and psychological aspects in which regards himself to never really lose a game is one total and major flaw; this stoy-line truth is lacking both tact and feasability. To summarize, this book is a total mistake and should only be read by young second or third rate readers whom do not really pose a desire to read but a desire to be spoonfed the information as if he/she was a kindergardener.

Summary: GO ENDER! YEAH! YOU ARE AWESOME!
Review: Ender's Game is by far the best sci-fi book ever written. That is it. I'm ten, and it was readable even for me, though it was advanced enough that I could enjoy it. Lots of action, too. Just an incredible book. "A reader from Houston", we're all entitled to our opinions, but you are totally wrong. Don't post your reviews for the lovers of the Ender's Game saga to read; it's depressing that a person totally misses the point of such a great book.

Summary: The bright but alienated kid will feel understood here.
Review: I've yet to find a kid who is one of those very bright but disenchanted with school types, actually at risk of dropping out because school is so meaningless, who does not respond to Ender's story of knowing more than everyone else but functioning as a savior of the world. It is a powerfully effective book to help the bright but isolated to find hope and meaning. The fantasy elements are incidental to me but are what makes the heavy doses of philosophy and insight digestible to most kids. Outstanding for kids with adult reading abilities who still have kid identity issues. No objectionable scenes. Another good one for the same kids but who have younger reading levels: A Bridge to Terabithia. The sequel and Card's other books are not as effective, tending toward much more heavy handed allegory and religious reference.
