Summary: Buy more than one copy!
Review: What can I say? I have now purchased this book 5 times. I always end up giving my copy away -- to a friend, a relative, a co-worker -- someone who hasn't yet gotten around to reading this marvelous novel. One of my five all time favorites.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I treat this book like a bible.
Review: I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Being a genius is not all it's cracked up to be, or is it?
Review: I once picked up this book off my brother's shelf, with no knowledge of the author, or his style of writing. A few pages into the book and I felt at home, literally. I read this book from cover to cover without getting a wink of sleep, it was so good. I realize other's may not support my enthusiasm for this book, as I can only speak for myself. I have read this book many times over just to escape my own reality for a time. However, I must warn others that the books following "Ender's Game" in the series did not capture my mind as the first book did, so be forwarned. However, this book will forever remain in my collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best sci-fi novels EVER!
Review: One of the greatest sci-fi novels ever, capped off with one of the greatest plot-twists ever. The next three books in the Ender cycle are far deeper and reflective. This book is great conventional sci-fi, although highly unconventional in the sense that the primary characters are "children" with adults filling out all of the secondary roles. Enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is extremly well written, and touches to soul.
Review: I recieved Ender's Game from my English teacher last week. She loaned it to me because she knows that I want to be a Navy Pilot, and am very interested in the military. I read the whole book in two days at school. I read it in between classes, during my classes, on the bus, and at home. The truth is I couldn't put it down. I am usualy reading five books at a time and very rarely does this happen. I liked the book so much, that after finishing it, I ordered Ender's Game and the other three books in Card's saga so I could have my own set. It shows us just what humans are capable of and what the individual can achieve. The insight to Ender's incredible military mind and leadership skills is exceptional. Card is a true master at weaving an extraordinary story line with the best characters imagination can fathom. I hope some day I can shake your hand Mr. Card. It would be an honor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great story with meaning
Review: This is one of the greatest novels written in our time, I highly recommend it. It is a rapid read, and Card will almost certainly take a night's sleep from you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ.
Review: Since grade 8 I have read this book over and over (17 times in 7 years). It literally changed my life. I guarantee that on another rainy day I will read it again. This is the one that you can't pass up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think it deserves 10 stars but 5 is all it goes up to.

Summary: A true masterpiece of not only sci/fi but of human nature
Review: Card's writing in "Ender's Game" goes beyond the typical scope of sci/fi. Card's understanding of human nature and his ability to pick at even the most typical behavorial patterns and make them into something more is first-class. Card does not only write about types of people, but he explains the angle that they come from insofar as they are acting for what they see as right. Card goes on to much greater depth of these topics in his later books, i.e. "Speaker for the Dead" and "Xenocide", but in "Ender's Game" the table is set in a story so entertaining and real (in as real as sci/fi gets) that you feel as if you reach the last page much too soon. "Ender's Game" is a masterpiece not just of sci/fi, but of literature. A small boy programmed to his destiny, yet a small boy with a deeper understanding of those around them than even they have of themselves.
