Summary: THE BEST THING THAT HAPPEND TO ME.
Review: I LOVE ENDER'S GAME (and the whole saga) AND I UNDERSTAND IT WITH ME SOUL. ITS A SAD , SAD , POWERFULL STORY, AND I WOULD GIVE EVERYTHING TO PLAY IN MOVIE. AND I WILL BE GOOD. BEN.

Summary: MOVIE, need I say more?
Review: Yes, I need say more b/c hollywood would completely hollywood-ize it and not do a good job. I say, TAKE THE BOOK, USE IT AS THE SCRIPT!. Of course then we'd have a bunch of little kids running around killing their bullies like Ender because "otherwise they'll just bug me the next day and won't leave me alone." Maybe not. I don't know. Everyone should read it though.

Summary: There's always someone, isn't there?
Review: I'm sorry to say, since I respect Card's writing, that I tried three times to read this book, which has been toted as his greatest ever. All three times, I couldn't get further than the fourth chapter because of the immense amount of self-pity the main character was drowning in.

Rating:
Summary: The best SF book I've read.
Review: It's one of the best SF books of all time. It won both the Hugo and Nebula awards (as did it's sequel, Speaker for the Dead, the next year.) I have recommended this book to everyone I know, and nobody who has read it has given in a bad review. Even those people who do not, in general, enjoy SF books. This book is a must read.

Rating:
Summary: Awesome -- simply awesome.
Review: I have read and re-read this book. It is satisfying on a number of different levels. The main character, Ender Wiggin, is fascinating. The book is totaly absorbing. Do yourself a favor -- buy this book.

Summary: Greatest Sci-Fi Book Ever
Review: First off, this book needs at least 8 stars. If ever you read a single item of Sci-Fi, make it this great work that OSC put together. His others works are wonderful, but EG starts it off. When he brings to light the prejudices people have when they don't know the other, is an important lesson for us today. The fact that Ender himself was a child was something that I could relate to, being in gifted classes at school. Although he did do a horrible thing, you could see how he was influenced. The book rounds out all its corners, an easy read, and surprisingly short, despite the fact that it's packed with a good story. I immediatly dove into SoTD after reading this, I couldn't get enough. All in all, the perfect Sci-Fi book.

Rating:
Summary: Exceptional fiction
Review: As much as I hate to jump on the bandwagon, I have to admit that this book was surprisingly original and very well written. Having read the jacket cover synopsis, I did not believe the story would be very compelling. In fact, I had put off reading this book for several years for that very reason. How very wrong I was. Like the best science fiction/fantasy writers, Card strips away modern day biases by setting the story in a fictional future and examining a very human condition. The protagonist is identifiable and engaging, and the prose is brisk and entertaining. While some might contend that Card spoon-feeds the story rather than allow the reader to draw their own conclusions, in this case Card has a well thought out agenda that is satisfying. Although I tend to prefer fantasy to science fiction, I would have to rate this book as one of the ten best of either genre.

Summary: Wonderful book! That's all I can say.
Review: Ender is in my heart. I love Ender! Especially through all of Orson Scott Card's books, Ender has got to be one of the most endearing characters I have ever encountered in literature! Ender is Card, and Card is Ender. That is all I have to say. Oh, and if you want to know how it goes, read it yourself! You won't be disappointed! :)

Rating:
Summary: DESERVES MORE THAN 5 STARS!
Review: I have to say that Ender's Game has to be the absolute best book that I've ever read in my entire life! The whole plot is amazing and I just could never put the book down! It left me ecstatic and wanting more! It's a beuatiful book and I reccomend it to everyone who enjoys a great Science/Fiction thrill!

Summary: Adrenaline pumping joyride!!
Review: When I read the introduction by the author, I thought: My God, if the book's like this, it's utter crap! So, skip that part and go straight to the real thing: Easyreading yet utterly thrilling story about young genius being trained to save mankind from bugs. Only criticism: Too short and too difficult to get hand of the sequels here in Australia. Can't wait! If you like Ender, why not try Hyperion by Dan Simmons (has the advantage of being a bit longer!).
