Summary: A great book
Review: Ender's Game is a great book. I've never read any of Card's books but this one makes me think I should try some more. The story is very enjoyable and may keep some people from ever putting it down (I put it down a couple of times which is why I gave it a 9). The ending is very thought provocing and makes me itching for the sequal.Many people may say that this book is too 'unbelievable' or to paraphrase 'totally sucked', but these are just people who either couldn't get past the fact that it wasn't Star Trek (NOT an insult to ALL Trekies) or they had to read it in school. Open your minds a bit. So read this book today (or whenever it arrives in the mail)

Summary: A dope "les nostalgies de la croix"!
Review: There isn't a better challenge to the insipid nihilism of the enlightenment and its logical conclusion than Ender Wiggin. A perfect embodiment of Nietzche's Zarathustra, Ender is the quintessential synthesis of the inhuman and superhuman. He strains the strictures of moral concepts and accountability --"a man who justifies man, of a complementary and redeeming lucky hit on the part of man for the sake of which one may still believe in man." Card's novel seems to yearn to grow greater, just as Ender grew greater to redeclare our love of him, our reverence for him, our hopes for him, even the will to him, and in him, we see ourselves.

Summary: This book is well worth reading,( you've heard this before)
Review: This book moved me, it made me think, and I was reading while I was sick so I had more focus on the book. It made want to be captain of the soccer team or some thing to command, to lead, to be part of a team, to use strategy. I think you will probaly like it.

Summary: If you haven't read it: read it.
Review: The only part of this book I did not like was the ending. And that was only because I could not turn the page and read more. It is easy to get into and very difficult to put down. If you have not read Ender's Game, read it within the next month. Even if you do not like Science Fiction.

Summary: Oh, how the "nay-sayers" have forgotten...
Review: I won't waste your time, and mine, in a full blown exultation of the book. I love it; it's that simple. What forces me to get my guns and write this review is the simple fact that those who dislike it generally are ignoring the setting. To those who complain that no six-year-old could be a military genius, I offer a few reminders. He was the best of the best; a supreme genuis. oes he act to adult-like? I believe Mr. Card has established a basis for this in the story: namely that they don't have parents anymore, and the only adults in their lives are the teachers. Please recall that even the characters in the story (I refer to Graff et al.) marvel at how different society is, and how old they seem. Still don''t believe this? Reread the scene where Ender leaves Bean for Command School... paraphrased.."He was a soldier, and if anyone asked him what he wanted ot be when he grew up, he wouldn't have known what they meant." I also notice that the Usenet concept has been repeatedly trashed. remember: this is the future, a time when people carry "desks" with them. If computers reach that level of poriferation, it is entirely possible that not only discussion of politics would move online, but possibly the entire democratic process! Having defended this book such as I have, many of you may wonder wy this book got only an "8" rating. I felt the book ended shortly after the victory in the "belt". The pages after taht, while I enjoyed them, broke the final continuity of the book. Without it, I would have proudly presented a "9". A "10" I would reserve for a book such as Card's "Worthing Saga." If you gave this book an 8-10, read the Worthing Saga, and then reel your jaw back in.

Summary: I'm in the MINORITY
Review: The minority we need to see here is that there are three classes of people writing reviews on this page: 1.) "I give it a TEN! BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN! I WORSHIP CARD!!". These people took the book WAY too emotionally and possibly even "enjoyed" the wrong parts. I grant that this book was incredible, and made me think, and was even plausible in most points--it almost got me to cry TWICE, even on the THIRD time I read it. But just because you really enjoyed the book, don't start talking like an emotional moron. It is a moving story with a lot to say, just please stop making yourselves look foolish. 2.) "It SUCKED! Most boring book I've ever read! What a bunch on non-intellectual drivel!". These are the people who are too stupid and take themselves too seriously in order to really enjoy the story itself and realize the masterpiece that it is. The characters of Ender's Game were obviously WAY over their heads and they didn't comprehend a word of the entire novel. If you think you hated it because it didn't present new issues, you actually hated it because it forced you to think about old, un-confronted issues in the human psyche that have existed since Creation. This is no Star Trek, but ST equals EG in plausibility when you really think about it. Genius-children and warp-drives, M.D. Devices and transporters. Kind of equals out, don't you think? If you're mad at the fact it didn't give you the meaningless blah-blah-blah of scientific terminology that many Trekkies enjoy so much because it makes them feel smart, you didn't grasp the real meaning of the book. 3.) Me, and all the other people who gave it honest 7's, 9's and 8's because they actually keep a sound mind when reviewing this book. THIS GROUP IS THE MINORITY. There are only about five or six of us who took the story and wrote something to straighten all this insanity out. I can't blame you if it made you go crazy, Card has a way of looking at the human condition and telling the truth about it--not just what! we want to hear. It is an intense and emotional story, the best in fact that I've ever read, but I won't yell and scream about it like most of you. I'm in pretty much the same boat as the rest of the Ten-Givers, I'm just calmer about it. I am letting the Three-and-One-Givers know that they did not understand a bit of it and are too busy reading their Star Trek/Wars in order to drop their prejudices against new/old things and actually read something MEANINGFUL. I doubt anyone will ever read this review, since it lies among thousands of others in this sea of craziness that they call the Ender's Game Page. Have you noticed how if you drop a stone into a pond, several ripples will spread outward? Well, Ender's Game was the proverbial boulder that sent all these dozens of misled readers into a maddened, frothing horde of--well--you tell me what the people are who gave 3's and 2's and 1's. I urge you to Email me if you read this.

Summary: Great character study.
Review: Previously this book has been reviewed as absurd because of the unusually young age of the protaganists. The fact however is that history shows again and again that youth merely means young adults. The only difference is that most often the very young don't have the experience and size to gain the self-confidence for carrying themselves with self-assuredness. To paraphrase again, kids are just small adults. The situation that Card puts his lead protaganist in is masterful and leads to very believable repercussions. That is why I think it's either hated or loved with little in-between, because it is one of the most believable and that disturbs some people. Read it and discover the controversy for yourself.

Summary: ¿Like War and Violence? good ;-)
Review: This book was very good, but a little too violent for us. It's about a six year old genius who goes to an outer space war camp to train on space war tactics. He dominates all the war games and and at the end well you'll just have to find out yourself.
