Summary: The Greatest Book Ever Written. Period.
Review: Like I said this book is without a doubt the greatest book of all time. With A main character you can relate to, and feel desparetly sorry for, Plus a supporting cast of equally well written characters. One can't help but be enthralled by Ender and his journey through a futuristic military school. Scott-Card really illuminates the child genius we all wish we could be, and for a little while lets us become that child, as he triumphs over himself, and the world.

Summary: The best of Science Fiction
Review: I am 13 years old and I know this book appeals to kids, but WOW!!! The storyline is excellent and Card's dialogue is perfect. Throughout the quartet Card developes his characters extremely well. The subplot between Valentine and Peter was just as good. I strongly believe kids and adults can enjoy the book and its moral issues. And eventhough the other three aren't as great just go ahead and read them all. Great job Card!

Summary: Moderation, please...
Review: I had heard about "Ender's Game" for years before I actually picked it up to read it. My husband recommended it strongly, as did all of my friends who had read it. Given all the hype, I was prepared to be disappointed. Instead, I found the book to be everything promised. On a literary level, it was simply and clearly written, and in this era of excess verbiage, that is a definite plus. As science fiction, it holds up in every way. Certainly the situation is extraordinary; why would we want to read about it otherwise? Reading the few negative reviews, I couldn't help noticing that the main criticism was that the premise was unlikely. In the first place, as speculative fiction, "Ender's Game" is not bound by the laws of possibility. But if it were, it would still hold up. An institution dedicated solely to the purpose of finding one extraordinarily gifted child capable of saving the world would almost certainly unearth a person as remarkable as Ender Wiggin. The reviewers who scoffed at the idea clearly have very little faith in humanity, and no concept of the human potential. It's worth noting that the harshest critics of Card's writing style and his premise were almost all laughably bad writers; it's as if this book forced them to face up to their own inadequacies. It's no wonder they couldn't identify with Ender Wiggin.

Summary: Ender's Game-->A book that crosses genres
Review: This book is one that people all over love. Whether they regularly read SF or not, they love. I have a friend who rarely reads, but he read the entire book, because it was so engrossing. And Ender is so good because he is so realistic. A poor little kid stuck in grown up affairs. And in the end, he gets very tired, and that is what makes him realistic. And the guy who said that 12 and 10 year-old kids couldn't influence popular thought is wrong. He is just afraid of that happening and doesn't want to admit it is possible. There are kids like that, not jus the ones who graduate high school when they are 10, but the ones that have a purpose and know what they are doing. A genetic mutation creating a person capable of being Alexander the Great at 12 is not that unlikely.

Summary: Ender Equals Endurance
Review: Amidst the dozens of commentaries on Ender's
Game, a key point has been missed.
The joy (or perhaps, the horror) of this book
is that it serves as a portrait of much adult
life in the 1990s. This is no more a child's
book than Wind in the Willows, which mirrors
vivid -- albeit humorous -- pictures of
personalities each of us know.
Ender is a mirror of the pain and fatigue of
our time, not the humor. Ender is Card's
Sisyphus, ever forced to compete at
increasingly difficult levels, only to be told
that his best performances are insufficient.
"Every level harder and there will be no
help," serves as his mantra, as he rolls
the rock to the hilltop yet again.
If Ender triumphs in the end, it is despite
the duplicity of government and at the cost
of his inability to form lasting attachments.
Wagner's Wotan perishes in his impotence
to save. Sisyphus triumphs through steely
indifference ("melancholy people have two
reasons for being so: they don't know or
they hope," Camus said). Ender perseveres and
emerges victorious, but at what price? And
that, indeed, is the question with which Ender
challenges us to examine ourselves in the 90s.

Summary: Definitely one of my favorites
Review: I have read this book twice (and the entire series once). Both times after I was over twenty years old. The point is not that Ender is a child, but that he is a genetically created genius who could not have a normal childhood. The reason I would recommend this book is because the second time I read it I was so moved that my wife asked me what was going on and I told her that I couldn't explain it, she'd have to read it for herself. She HATES s-f. Hates it, I could never get her to pick up anything even remotely related to s-f. Well, I convinced her to read this book. She read it, cover to cover in less than three days. She loved it enough to read the rest of the series.

Summary: entertaining and enlightning, a joy to read again
Review: this was a well written book that I have read countless times. I have lent the book to others who were very unsure weather they would like it or not and they have loved it.
the character are interesting and the story makes you feel like your living it to. there are things you can learn from the book, like how children feel, what society can become and is becoming. As wonderful as this book is the sequals are a disapointment. This is not a real problem as the first is wonderful on it's own and you don't necessarly have to read the others. CAT

Summary: Ingenuos book. Don't miss it
Review: From time to time, while reading sci-fi books, you stumble upon a book that surprises you with the new approach to old themes. This is the case with Ender's Game. Alien invasion, xenophoby and military training looked through a new lense. Read it

Summary: A brief introduction to the story.
Review: Earth is in a perilous state. Aliens have attacked the planet twice and nearly destroyed humanity. In order to be ready the next time around, governments world wide have taken to breeding and raising young children as military geniuses. It is into this world that Ender Wiggin is born. In this story Orson Scott Card weaves an amazing tale, centering on an ingenius, unaccepted boy, and how his journey through life leads him to a startling link with the creatures he was born to destroy.

Summary: Excellent Details of Battles in Space
Review: I thought this book was okay. In the beginning it kind of stunk because there was no action. It gets better but the ending needs more work.
