Summary: Without a doubt, the best book I've ever read!
Review: This book had come highly recommended to me, but I still enjoyed it much more than I ever thought I would. The incredible storyline, characters, and the way Card masterfully weaves everything together makes for a great read. I really cared about the characters and was surprised how much emotion there could be in a book. But just because there is a lot of emotion in this book doesn't mean there isn't a lot of action in it too, because there is. It kept me constantly on the edge of my seat and was a real page-turner. This is the only book I have read more than once, and I enjoy it each time I read it. The story deals with child prodigies, the cold-hearted adults who manipulate them, a power struggle for control of the planet, and a race to save mankind from an alien threat. But this book is about much more than that; it deals with our own humanity and makes us change the way we think about people who are different. I would very strongly recommend this book not only to fans of science fiction, but to anyone who enjoys to read great books. This book has meant so much to me and I am very glad that I read it.

Summary: Ender's Game satisfies on every level
Review: Deep for those who look deeply, straight-forward for those who don't. Strong characterizations and rolling action. It would be difficult to dislike this book.

Summary: One of the greatest Sci-Fi books of ALL TIME!!!
Review: Card delivers a magnificent work for any person who ever looked at the stars. Card manages to get inside Ender's mind, and the reader can imagine him- or herself in his positions. Anyone who likes drama, strategic warfare, or politics must read this book. Card is a master of the unknown and anything that humanity has dared to dream.

Summary: Very Good SF, but a little bit predictable.
Review: I bought Ender's Game because it keeps coming up on recommended SF lists. I was not disappointed. Maybe it's because I was not a gifted child (I.Q. only 137) that I found the children's language a little hard to swallow. Otherwise, I found the book to be utterly enjoyable. I could hardly put it down even though I guessed some of the plot twists. The ending was a pleasant suprise and I am looking foreward to reading "Speaker for the Dead". I think Ender Wiggen will be a little more believable in his twenties.

Summary: A surprise
Review: I have never been an avid reader of science-fiction. However, my friend gave me this book. Despite my hesitation, I reluctantly set out to read it. I finished it in 3 hours..I could not put it down. It is an extreme critique on society and the struggle of a young boy of extraordinary intellect trying to maintain his identity while forever being opposed by his peers. I have read it 5 times since and I gain more with each read. A true literary masterpiece.

Summary: A must read for any SF fan
Review: I spent the first 23 years of my life believing reading was a waste of time. Then a friend let me borrow the Worthing Saga. It was a very interesting story, but this then led me to try reading ENDERS GAME. WOW, what a great tale. Card writes characters that you can't help but care about, and Ender Wiggin is definitely his very best!!Since reading Enders Game I have slowly read as much of Card as I can find. His SF is excellent, and equally matched by his Fantasy series (The Alvin series is fantastic). Unfortunately OSC has recently moved more to the mainstream and is writing more mundane fiction. My hope is that he expands on his Ender Series (anyone who read Children of the Mind will probably agree that it seems that the story needs to continue), and I am anxious to read the 5th part of the Alvin series. Card is a great writer, and I recommend him to anyone!!!

Summary: The best book ever written!
Review: This book was one of the very first science-fiction books I read, and it has stayed the best. My parents introduced it to me when I was young. Then I recommended it to my sister, and she read it and loved it. Many of our friends have now read it, and not one bad word has been said about it yet. The reason is that there is no negative word that could describe Ender's Game. It is THE BEST BOOK EVER!

Summary: The greatest work of sci-fi ever written
Review: This book, being my favorite over favorites, has really changed the way I look at things. What I really gained is the realization that every concept has more than one possibility-may it be positive or not. All in all though, I insist that everyone should read this book.

Summary: One Of the Two Best Sci-Fi Books Ever!!!
Review: Ender's Game is a wonderful story. But, if the story was all there was to the book, the original short story would have won the Hugo and Nebula. No, the best part of this story is the thoughts and struggles of Ender Wiggin. As a "gifted" student myself, I completely sympathize with Ender. He is my favorite character, out of any novel, ever. This book actually brought tears to my eyes many times, one of the very few books to do so. If I had Ender's talent, I would also have his problems. I could not bear to fight so well, and hurt so many people. THIS BOOK IS FANTASTIC! The sequels _Speaker for the Dead_ et al, do not receive as many good reviews as _Ender's Game_. There is very little action in the other's in the series, but the philosophy is still there. I love all of Orson Scott Card, but none of his books compare, even slightly, to this series. The only Sci-fi book I like as much as _Ender's Game_ is _Robots of Dawn_ by Isaac Asimov.
