Summary: It makes me want to cry every time I read it.
Review: I first read "Ender's Game" when I was about 7 years old, and since then (I'm 16 now) I've probably read it several dozen times. I recently read it again, and my suspicion was confirmed: it gets better every time. I don't know what it is, but I have never read a book that can compare to it. Card's "The Worthing Saga" is very good, but not even close. The sequels to "Ender's Game" are, in my opinion, atrocious. They damaged the story for me, but it is still the best I have ever read, including "classics". One thing that amuses me, by the way, is how the (few) people who put "Ender's Game" down and say how terrible it is and give it one star all spell something wrong, and not hard words either, but easy words.

Summary: The Ender Quartet, An Allegory of the Human Condition
Review: I have read almost all of the entire Ender Quartet, and have read the novel, "Armour", by John Steakley (which was referred to by an avid reader in the military of the first novel of the series whose feedback was included in the introduction.) I have noticed that the first novel was very different in focus than the subsequent 3 novels of the series. It is interesting to note that Mr. Card has chosen to pursue a storyline in which he stresses Andrew "Ender" Wiggin's, the main protagonist, life during peacetime as opposed to his short stint in the military during his childhood. I think that it puts a very positive message forward about how easy it is to destroy but how difficult it is to create, to preserve, to protect.However, this being said, I would be curious to see if anyone (especially Mr. Card himself) would dare to attempt a more in depth and perhaps even a graphical analysis of the three-dimensional tactics that Ender would have theoretically used in combating the "buggers" [the Varelse-class (aliens to foreign to be able to live in peaceful co-existence with) aliens later fouond to be Raman-class (i.e. human but from a different species and capable of deriving some mutual understanding to work out a way for living in mutual harmony and peace)]. I particularly liked the conclusion of Peter Wiggin (ender's brain-child fashioned after the likeness of his hated and deceased brother who became Hegemon or Supreme ruler of Earth). He mentions that we, human beings, are varelse. We commit to destroying anything and anyone unknown to us without gathering and corroborating more information about the strangers in our midst. This is a life lesson that I believe the students in Columbine High, Colorado, learned a little too late. Although the Black Trenchcoat Gang was undoubtedly to blame in the shooting deaths and injuries of innocent students and faculty, they were really lashing back at being ostracized and tormented by the athletes in the school. In other words, they were treated like varelse; like latter-day Marcaos. They expressed their pent-up anger violently after emotionally-isolating themselves from their fellow student body. As important, insightful and entertaining the novels are, one would be remiss if one didn't "get the message" that Orson Scott Card, author and, in-my-mind, social commentator, is trying to make in his books. Examples of the relevance of his writing can be seen on CNN broadcasts of Operation Desert Storm and in Operation Kosovo. We, as North Americans, have attained an emotional detachment with our sports, movies and, yes, even fictional books, that it is ironic that it takes a work of fiction to really bring back into focus the REAL WORLD issues that are really important and should be important to us. However, there is hope. We can all aspire to the same clarity of thought and conscience that premeates Mr. Card's works. Sincerely, AL

Summary: This book is a must-read...even for a teen!
Review: Orson Scott Card has become one of my favorite author's since I have read this book. Ender's Game is so complex...and yet so wonderfully simple. I first read it when I was about 12 and I couldn't put it down. It is that powerful! I reccommend it to anyone who appriciates the intelligence of kids and the struggle for existence. READ IT! (now...if they only made a movie out of it.....)

Summary: One of the best
Review: One of the best books. Incredible story line and characters. Runs just like Star Wars except less furry and more dark. A must read for anyone who is into sci-fi and philosiphy. Looks like a children's book, but teens and adults will like it on a deeper level.

Summary: The best book I have ever read.

Summary: Not what I expected. . .
Review: I normally don't read science fiction, but after this book was given to me as a graduation present I decided to give it a try. Simply amazing! The whole concept behind it was fresh, exciting, and original. When counting the plot and character development alone, I would give it four stars already. But it goes so much further than that! Card's deep understanding of psychology, emotion,and human nature launch place the book in a class few science fiction novels share. You must read this book!

Summary: Is their a sequal!!!
Review: The story of Enders moil quest was inspiring, just the thought of his whole life reminds me of me. The book was very interesting, although it is short and lasted only 2 days for me. The end was very suprising and Im gonna order the next one from Amazon after Im done with this review. But this book will give you strength, just think about what Ender went through and it makes everything seem like a cakewalk. Just makes everything seem like a game. Stryder.
