Summary: A good read
Review: Ender's Game was a good book; when I was in Junior High. And Im not going to mark it down because Im older now. Its still a good book and will continue to be. I thought the story line and the characters were imaginative and well thought out. I dont suggest this book for the older audience, but It would make a good gift for a teenager. The lower scorers should have done thair homework and found out what level a reader would be reading this book. I feel Orson Scott Card did a good job at bringing in the younger crowd into the usually criptic realm of Sci-fi. When you read this book you must remember that it is Science Fiction; and not reality. Sure Ender is young to be acting like an adult; but so was Caesar and Augustus and they were real. All I can say is read it and keep an open mind.

Summary: Why does anyone like this book?
Review: I guess there's no accounting for taste, but why does anyone like this book? The idea of a 6 year-old military genius is absurd. And if there was one, the idea that the people of power would put a child in command of anything is even more absurd. Does Card know any human beings? Can't tell from reading his book.
As for the storyline, it's trite and extremely predictible. The subplot about the boy and girl who take over the world via USENET is even more unbelievable than the main plot. (Doesn't Card realize that the people who run things don't have time to read USENET and couldn't care less what is said there?)
I can't think of a more naive book. If you know nothing about military matters, human nature, and the nature of power, this book might appeal. But only if you also have no taste in writing.
To those who like this book and are over 14 years old I can only say: read more!! I suggest something like Dune for a story with a more realistic picture of the complexies of human nature. Or some Mark Twain to get an idea of the difference between clear writing and good writing.

Summary: Intriguing, exciting tale of a boy's struggle with destiny
Review: Showing great promise, Ender begins his education in warfare at an early age, and struggles through an endless barrage of 'games' until, years later, he is ready for his final test. Orson Scott Card's writing shows his great ability at characterization. You are welded to the character throughout the book. When Ender suffers a drawback, you feel the sting. When he triumphs, you feel the glory! A great read.

Summary: on of the best times I've had reading a book ever
Review: the book Enders game is very well written. It shows the basic principle of human will to survive. It also peers into the window of alien contact. What would we really do if we found aliens in the galaxy? This book is really a good one on the part of Mr. Card. This book is also a great read for almost any kind reader. It appeales to the sci-fi reader, the pioneer book reader, the fantasy reader, and a whole slew of other readers. IF you like stories about the human condidion, this is the book and series for you!!!

Summary: If there is one book in Sci-Fi to read try this one
Review: I read this book nearly 5 years ago and have still found it one of the most classic sci-fi ever written. I guess to really appreciate the book, instead of the cheap thrills as many sci-fi now are, one has to look a bit beyond the surface. The part, to me which I found the most profound was not the sci-fi atmosphere and "aliens" but rather the portrayal of a young boy named Ender, becoming what he hated the most. This story is not just a tale of a genius boy fighting aliens, but is a story that captivates what many people today will or have experienced; that sometimes what we hate the most, we sometimes become. Well... anything more would spoil it. If there is one book in Sci-Fi to read try this one, I'm sure you won't be disappointed and hey, it's only a couple bucks (well... unless you're in a middle school reading this as a requirement, what a bummer... =p )

Summary: 90% of the readers give it 9/10 score. So what can I say?
Review: If you browse through all readers commentary, you will find that 9 out of 10 will give this book a score of 9/10. For the rest 10% who disliked this book, I can only say "Allright, we agree to disagree about this book rating. But for this case, I said that following the majority is not a bad idea". My personal opinions is, this is a great book of sci-fi , a masterpiece of Mr. Card, and I believe that it will become classic (like "Dunes" and "Star Wars", for instance).

Summary: PURE ENTERTAINMENT--Just read the damn book and like it.
Review: It's been several years since I read this book, but I still remember tearing through it ferociously and longing for more at the end. I've recommended Ender's Game to quite a few people looking for a good read, and most of those who read it loved it, few merely enjoyed it, but none hated it. Reading through some of the ultra-negative critiques listed here (ratings of 1-3), I've sniffed a peculiar scent of indignation symptomic of "the alternative syndrom." I'm sorry it's so difficult for them to understand that what Card wrote was just, fun, imaginative, and entertaining science FICTION. For what it is, Ender's Game is among the best.

Summary: A Great Book
Review: I loved reading this book and I was not 12 years old at the time. I think the key is to stop taking yourself so seriously. As I was reading over the reviews of others, I was particularly intrigued by the fact that every person who didn't like it had a problem with Ender being 6 years old. If Card was writing from the eyes of a child he did his job. When we are children we don't feel infantile; that is only the adults feelings being projected on to us. And when we grow older and become what society calls elderly, we will look back on those who are 20, 30 and 40 as if they are infantile. Those who didn't like the book probably have a hard time seeing children as having their own free will and individual thought process also. I am sorry if that was a dig at anyone but I feel defensive when people tell me that one of my most favorite books shouldn't be read by anyone over 18. Ender's Game is far from his best. I do think that the other books are stronger but Ender's Game introduced me to Card and I will always love the book.
