Ender's Game

Summary: Its greattttt!
Review: I first read the book in 1987. It was lent to me by a friend with his recommendations. It was so good that I remembered it till this day. While browsing at Amazon.com, I ran a search for it and end up buying it. I got it 3 months after ordering it! Well it was well worth the wait. I do notice that it was changed a bit especially at the end (mine was the author's definitive edition), but it made the book very much better. I didn't like the ending in the earlier edition. But Card still missed the mistake at page 177, it was "Rose the Nose's mistake" not "Bonzo's mistake" (please refer to page 105). I had just bought the entire Ender's series just now at Amazon.com. I hope I didn't make a mistake ;-) by doing that!!!

Summary: Just a little overrated
Review: After reading several of the reviews posted here, I had high hopes for Ender's Game. Unfortunately, the story of a child genius who trains in battle games throughout an entire book (that's really all he does), which ends with an anti-climatic plot twist, is far from the classic sci-fi all these other readers seem to think it is. If you want really good sci-fi, try 'The Stars My Destination' by Alfred Bester, any of the 'Hyperion' saga books by Dan Simmons, or 'The Forever War' by Joe Haldeman. Those are true classics.

Summary: Card proves that he really does know how children think...
Review: Ender's Game is and acton/adventure sci-fi in which a the fate of the planet rests in the hands of a boy struggling to be a man way too soon. Mr. Card proves once again that he really does know how children think. In the author's note, Card says (and I'm paraphrasing here) that this is the type of book people either fall in love with, or can't stand. And he is absolutely right. And whether you love it, or you hate it, it will undoubtedly be for the same reasons...an excellent book.

Summary: Truely Magnificent
Review: I didn't read this book until my Senior year in high school, and before this book was recommended to me, I didn't like to read. Now I have read most of his other books and I am truely impressed. I really felt like I was a part of the story. Card has created a landmark for science fiction writers. And for those of you who didn't like it because you said it was unreal--Hello? That's why it's called Science Fiction and not Nonfiction.

Summary: Read this book many,many times.
Review: Excellent story. I wish this book would have been available when I was a teenager. Very thought provoking. Provides aspiration and encourages one to perform at the best of their abilities to achieve their dreams/goals. If Ender can become " The Best That He Can Be", so can the reader.

Summary: THE most stunning, imaginative, and creative book EVER!
Review: When I picked it up to read for an English assingment, it looked boring. When I first started reading it, the book almost jumped alive! It was creative, vivid details of the most amazing and inventive ideas ever made. I was absolutely immersed in this book. Ender Wiggin was a very challenged boy, and his determination and self-discipline kept him going through all the tough parts of life. He beat out the bad kids, he out-brained the teachers, and made the best of friends. The teachers tried to slow him, not to make it easy. He took each mind-boggling challenge with the greatest of ease, and the largest amounts of brain power, sheer brain power, and solved complex situations. If you don't read this book, you are missing out an a fantastic journey through one little boy's life, who would change the world. He was so young, so hated by others, so confused, he almost cracked wide open. But Andrew Ender Wiggin never gives up, never stops and is hopeless. He only goes on, and on.

Summary: Card turns heads with amazing humanity
Review: Orson Scott Card did it. He humanized Science Fiction and made us feel for the young boy pushed to all limits. This book had a way of taking the views of a child genious/battle commander and allowing the reader a clear path into his mind. This book is non-stop action clear to the final pages. A warning though: If you pick this book up, you'll not be able to put it down until the end.

Summary: Everyone I know Loves this Book. A Must Read.
Review: Orson Scott Card is one of the best writers of our time. If you liked Ender's game, I would recommend his earlier, weirder, and darker books like Songmaster, Treason, and Hart's Hope.

Summary: This is a book that can't be put down!
Review: This is a book that any Sci-Fi reader won't be able to put down. I think that this book is the best book I have ever read. Card puts the story from a childs perspective and he does it well. The personalitys of all the characters is unique and done extremely well. This book also shows what the real world is like and the progretion of life for a little boy to a mature leader and yet how naive he is to everything. The structure of the story is not to complex but still interesting. I advise any one who has ever shown any interest in Sci-Fi to read this book you will not be dissapointed.
