Ender's Game

Rating:
Summary: Paper trip
Review: This book is the kind of book that you take up, read a couple pages without suspecting anything, fetch something to eat and read the rest. It might have a slightly disgusting idea as a backbone, an inhuman six year old making miracles while having no more than three hours of sleep a day, but that's all easy to close your eyes before as Card creates an immersion so complete, you'll be thinking like little Ender when you read the last page. A good thing is also that he creates two simulteneous paths of action which interweave not completely, but only enough to make it a book, something other writers seldom do, but rather separate into two books. The purest, truest form of entertainment avalible at this time this book.

Summary: It was one of the best books I've ever read
Review: In the first few chapters I wasn't too excited about reading Enders Game, since Ender was a six-year-old kid. But later in the book it really hooked me in. I thought the Battle Room idea was really great. All of the time while reading I wished that I could be one of the soldiers fighting in anti-gravity. Card really made me feel what Ender felt. I felt sorry for Ender, the way they kept tricking him and keeping things from him. It was spooky when he found the Giant's Corpse in a "bugger" world. It was probably one of the best books I've ever read.

Summary: A great story!
Review: Ender's Game is one of those good books that you won't stop reading. The description of the action in this book is wonderful. However, the characters get a little dull for their age.

Summary: This is the outcome of Imagination.
Review: I still believe after all the books I read of science fiction and fantasy that Enders Game is one of the all time greats. I work at a book store and can never keep this book in stock, which is an utterly refreshing problem. This is a fun, highly imaginative book that comes straight from the dreams we experience at night. With 6 of Cards books signed up to become movies, I am glad this will be the first one to be made. Do youself a favor, get this book and lose yourself in a wonderful world of childhood, innocence, and adventure. DONT PASS THIS BOOK UP!

Summary: Amazing. Period.
Review: Three years ago I was required to read this book upon entering Appalachian State University. I've never been an avid reader. However (without being redundant like the rest of these reviews), the book caused me to go and buy many more of card's books. Later on during my first year in college, Card came and talked to the interdisciplinary program I was in and I had lunch with him. At that time, I asked him how he knew that each reader would become Ender (the prolouge). He said because it is a "true" book. And those are true words.

Summary: Oone of the best books I have ever read!!! Must read!!
Review: This is undoubtably one of the BEST books I have ever read. It has a very good plot and a couple of unsuspecting twists. I just finished this book a week ago, and am currently reading Dragon Wing. If you liked Ender's Game, I highly recommend this book! And if you haven't read Ender's Game yet, read it!

Summary: Hack juvenile military sci-fi
Review: Oh dear, oh dear. Whay do people rave about this book? Trite ideas, religous propaganda (though less overt than some of his earlier books), poor characters and average writing all add up to a pathetic juvenile adventure story that falls far short of the great (Herbert) and even not-so-great (Heinlein) writers he is imitating. I have been told the later books are better, but after this I have no desire to find out. This is equalled in its awfulness only by L. Ron Hubbard, another religous nutcase. How did this guy win awards? I hear the sound of airport cash-tills ringing...

Summary: Unlike any book I ever read
Review: If I had to put my finger on what makes Card such a good writer, it's that he can effortlessly put a picture in your mind simply by describing it with words. Somehow, Card has found a way to project every detail of scenery, sound, and emotion into your mind, making for a -totally- immersive novel. I have never experienced a novel that so completely provided all the details of action while it happens, but yet does it in such a way that it doesn't slow down the pace of the story. Unreal. The best book I have ever had the pleasure of reading; anyone who claims it was boring simply wasn't paying attention.

Summary: Yup...
Review: This is a very good novel (I feel more than a little redundant saying that). It's not my favourite work of Card's--I prefer the Homecoming series--but it is quite good. The few people who gave it negative reviews must be suffering from some sort of bizarre brain deficiency.
