Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is the most incredible book ever written.
Review: This book is the best I have ever read. It shows a struggle that nobody sees except those that have seen a similar situtation. The feelings that you get are stronger than I have ever felt in reading.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Excuse me, but no
Review: Okay, what is it about this book does everyone love?? I don't understand. It's boring, there's no action, and the kid beats people up (not that I mind that). It has GOT to be one of the most boring books I've ever read, and the few actions scenes are not that well written.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beyond the hype...
Review: This book is great for many reasons, but the reason that I would like to bring to light as I read so many shallow reviews is the beauty of its simplistic approach to a complex issue. I just read another review stating that the book is for children, like CS Lewis. I couldn't believe it! This book is amazing for the same reasons that people dedicate their lives to studying Lewis. It has the hint of simplism. The plot is not mind boggling, true. It rolls along as if to cause the reader to say, "Yeah, that's what should happen; I could have told you that," and then just when you think you have it all figured out, the world comes crashing down. The beauty is not in the plot. It is in the emotions and psychology behind the characters, each of whom has a unique background from which their actions are dictated. In a way, each person in this book is manipulated by a view of the world that is incomplete. This is not a reflection of three young children emersed in the politics and militia of a futuristic world at war. It is a reflection of current society and the control that it has over the people in it. Its the story of how three children try to change it for the better and eventually do. If you haven't read it, this is a masterpiece of literature. If you've read it and found it shallow, you need to read it again.

Summary: Ender's Game- thumbs up
Review: Orsan Scott Card never ceases to amaze me with his ability to create books that inspire the reader to think. Absolutly loved it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MASTER PIECE OF PSYCHOLOGY
Review: This isn't a book about science fiction or alien's massive destruction. So those of you looking for bloody action in the future, you may go somewhere else. This is a book about feelings, and every piece of it brings a lesson, a thought, an inspiration that will change your life. READ IT.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the book is good
Review: Enders Game by Orson Scott Card is an amazing book. It has everything a good book needs, an original plot, interesting characters, and a magnificent ending. Its a good book for people who like complex story lines, and for people who like unpredictable and mentally stimulating stories. Orson Scott Card is a very talented writer, and his story never gets boring. I personally loved this book, it might have been the best story line of any book I've ever read. It's incorporates fascinating concepts of the mind, and an interesting version of the future. I strongly recommend this book to anyone, no matter what kind of book they prefer, this book has a little of everything and it is thoroughly enjoyable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic!!!
Review: A truly fantastic book! What really captured my interest the most is the premise that kids have certain abilities beyond that of adults. Past that, the book awakens in me a huge desire to play games, to compete with vigor to bring out the best in others, to bring out the best in me too, to be compassionate, to be better, and to not be such a grown-up that I don't remember to have fun. All that from one book; I can't believe I never heard of it till 2 weeks ago from Amazon's book matcher service at age 24. I'm so happy there's a sequel, Speaker for the Dead. Looks I have a next read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best book I have ever read.....
Review: i first read this book when i was 9. my father had just given it to me and i was thinking it was sooo big! i opened it , and for dad's sake started reading this mausoleum of a book. soon, i didn't need any encouragement.i missed two whole meals, an unheard of precednt at the time. dad understood. i didn't really notice...i was immersed with military training, and flying through the air with no other thought then 'the enemy gate is down!' it understood me....the little people actually thought real things, they never were kids...they were people. they are people, they're real. this is for anyone who ever looked on in disgust while parent's treated thier children like unintellegent rats.......as i say, the best book i've ever read.

Rating: 5 stars
