Summary: This is the best sci-fi book out there
Review: Unlike so many other science fiction novels out there, Ender's Game has an actual plot to it. When my cousin lent me his copy I thought that I wouldn't like it just because it was sci-fi, but I fell in love with Ender and Orsan Scott Card. I now own as many of his books as I can get my hands on. This book just makes you feel, it's so real. I recommend this book to everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: First place in the modern generation of classics
Review: This book may seem cliche. After all, it's about a future where humans are preparing for a war with aliens called "buggers." However, once you read it, you will see why it captured the hearts of so many fans. This book doesn't dwell so much on the details or suspense of war as it explores the psyche and mental state of the main character. It is a book that will make you laugh, that will make you cry, and, above all, that will make you think. It is labeled science fiction, but it also shares the genres of a tragedy and the best of psychological thrilers. As soon as I started reading it, it became my favorite book, and I've only grown to love it more since. If you love reading, read this book, for it is on the ranks with all of the greatest classics.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fantastically wonderful novel
Review: I had a fried who thought this was the best book he ever read so I thought that I would give it a try. After reading, I found that this was the best book that I have ever read, too. Unlike most sci-fi novels where things just happen and aliens are blown up, this is a very deep novel, and it is more about character development than some cheap action thrills. This book is so... the best book that I have ever read. Read it. You will like it.

Rating: 5 stars

GET THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: First five star I've read since Tolkein
Review: This book is both disturbing and hopeful.

I was delighted at how Card could approach a theme on so many levels, yet kept it all life-like, whether it was a battle viewed from the North and then from the South.. And then from above and below. From the Ender-boys eyes. From his rivals. Not sufficing with the technical and technique, he takes moral and philisophical issues apart at the seams. Are the good guys so good? Are the bad, so bad. Are the buggers REALLY the bad guys? What I liked best though was that while everything else could be seen differently from different points of view, Love was constant. I was also pleased that religion was not criticised or misrepresented ( as far as I can tell ;). Indeed Card was brought a sword. If you don't understand that, then read the book.. Either the Good Book or the not so shabby one. How 'bout both?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My best book so far.
Review: Orson Scott Card is now my favorit author. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It sucked!
Review: I thoght that this was the worst book ever and should be burned in hell

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very good, but not great, but nearly so
Review: Ender's game is not a good as a Herman Meville novel, or Henry James, but he does touch on some stressful topics for men: competition; not liking the conclusion that there are people better, and way smarter that you are. Each of us is limited, but Ender is different and makes us feel small. If you want to feel small, if you'r realistic, or pretend your like him, if your delusional, then this book is for you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's out of this world!!!
Review: As a fifth grader, I think Ender's Game is a great book. Ender's Game is about a six-year-old boy named Ender, who goes to battle school to beat the evil aliens called Buggers. The Buggers look like giant Praying mantises, and are trying to invade Earth. I like how Ender didn't even know he was going to battle with the Buggers. Then, to my suprise, he beat them! The author kept me interested by having a lot of cool things happening. For instance; my favorite chapter is "The Giant's Drink" because it's really detailed. It's about a cool game, and whatever you want it to do, it does. For instance, if you tell it to attack, it atcually attacks. (There aren't any limitations and no rules. The setting is in the battle school mostly. There isn't very much gravity though, so people have to move by floating. In the battle school, the teachers train students to fight. I think the setting was very realalistic, because wherever you are, the author descibes a lot of people and places. While Ender is at the battle school, he meets a lot of people with unusual names. I recommend Ender's Game to everyone, especially Sci-Fi fans, because Ender's Game is a really good book. It really keeps your interest. It's such a good book, you might want to read it twice!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The only good book ever written
Review: Ender baby your a stud, True I haven't read many books or know alot about this or that but who cares. This book makes me want to read more and learn about this and that. When I was finished with the book (I couldn't believe i actually finished a book) i want to keep reading(amazing)! So i read the sequel and it still kicked ass but not as much as this one. I don't think any other book could. Kill the buggers baby! Bonzo got whooped. Enders young and small but he's got it all! A must read (if there is such a thing). Defantly a 5 star book and anyone who says different is stupid.
