Summary: Changing the way you look at children.
Review: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is one of those few novels that changes the way you look at the world. By watching the emergence and transformation of Ender Wiggins, you understand the power and vulerability of the youngest amoung us - the children. Orson Scott Card has captured in an eminently readable and timeless masterpiece the thrill - and danger - of being a child in a very adult world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: There are 4 books in this series.Still not enough.
Review: If you are the type of person who loves to see one individual triumph agianst all(man,nature and their own fears)this is the series for you.

Mr.Card has to me a unique aproach to telling a story.He uses conversations filled with the most fascinating interaction between charecters that i have ever experianced.He explores the inermost thoughts of his charecters emotions.

If you like Stephen Kings writing style i believe you will also enjoy Orson Scott Card.Try Enders Game and you will find yourself running to the store (via amozon com books) to get the next book in the series.I dont even need to tell you the other books titles once you read the first one you WILL find them yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Couldn't Put It Down
Review: I read the first two chapters at a book store and then didn't buy it because I knew I had to work the next day and didn't want to stay up all night (which I practically did a few days later). Orson Scott Card writes with the clarity of Jane Austen and the originality of Heinlein. It's a riveting tale and it could be real.........

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a great book!!!
Review: I really enjoyed this book! It's head and shoulders above everything, but The Hobbit and The Lord of the Ring trilogy. Ender's Game snatched my attention from page one and really played with my emotions until the final page. Definitely a must-read.

Summary: Well written and a book intriguing for all ages
Review: In high school I decided to take a Science Fiction class. You know a class that wasn't to hard but that would keep my interest. My teacher was a Science Fiction freak and by the end of the year I was reading Science Fiction novels on my own. Ender's Game was required reading for the class. As soon I saw that the book was over 100 pages I was sceptical. I picked the book up one night when I was bored and was unable to put it down. During my senior year of high school when all I did was party, I was bringing a book to school and reading in the cafeteria. I recommended the book to almost any one who would listen. Since the rest of my classmates didn't bother to read I held study sessions where I would recount the book and all of the most exciting parts. It was unbelievable to me that I could be so interested in the life of a child. Ender became real to me; he was no longer just a character in the book. I feared for his life, complained about his injustices, and cheered when he succeeded. Ender represents the under dog's everywhere and his victories were my victories. This book is exciting to the very end. I looked all over for the sequel's but have yet to find them, but with a book as good as this I won't give up. My teacher was so surprised that I had finished the book. I think he realized he had finally gotten through to me. Thanks for introducing me to a great book Mr. Foote.

Summary: Soon to be a Sci-Fi classic
Review: I first read this book after every other member of my family had read almost the entire series, and they were constantly making references I couldn't understand. I'm so glad I did. Ender's Game is a riveting and poignant tale of a boy who is made to grow up far too fast, for the sake of winning a war. If there is a theme to the story (which is uncertain, although its sequels certainly have themes), it has to do with the terrible loss of innocence, and what men are capable of doing to themselves, as well as to others, when they hate what they don't understand.

When my sister, an English graduate student who's been teaching reading for the past several years, first read the book, she noted that it's among the best ever written, and recommended it highly to her students. I fully agree. It's kind of a shame that the sequels to this wonderful novel, while being good works in themselves, are not nearly so riveting, and more difficult to get through. But I suppose not every book can be the sort that this one is--where one fully intends to go to bed at 11:00 PM, and ends up going to bed at 4:00 AM, due to being utterly unable to put the book down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST BOOK IN HISTORY OF SINCE FICTION

Summary: Great
Review: Excuse me, but I beg to differ with some of the people who reviewed this book as a "3". Some of them provided substantial reasons as to why they didn't like it. Most others simply insulted the reviewers who gave this book a 10 as being slow witted and not recognizing the flaws in the book that they see. This book was very simple, yet it had a good story. I've read too many books where the authors try to cover up their weak plot by using a vocabulary so extensive that the average American will simply decide that the book was written by someone much more bright than they are and that it is way over their heads. They think it must be a good book but they just aren't intelligent enough to see the beauty of it. Let me relieve all of those people out ther:There is no beauty to it. Just because you have to train your mental abilities to grasp what turns out to be a weak mediocre imitation of a good story does not make it a good book. Ender's Game had such a strong, involving plot that it didn't need 500 extra pages of confusing garbage to cover up its mistakes. There were very few if any flaws in Ender's game if any. Ender's game had nothing to hide and tried to hide nothing nothing. That makes it all the better a story. Almost everyone can easily identify with one of the people in the book. I think the best part of this book was its simplistic view of things. It was a d*mn good book in every way. If you agree or disagree with me, I'd be obliged to recieve an e-mail message. Just to show you that I have nothing to hide, I would like to say taht I am 13 years of age, yet I think that had no apparent affect on my perception of this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite book of all time........
Review: Personally, I loved this book, but I think that there is nothing wrong with disliking it. However, it seems that many of the reviewers giving Ender's Game a 3 or lower are only trying to be cool, and to show how much better they are than the rest of us shmucks who really took something away from this book. Something would be wrong if everyone loved this book, but please, dont insult us with your overly harsh criticisms.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: what can I say?
Review: What can I say that hasn't been said already? I just wanted to add my vote to the list of tens. Not as good as Crime and Punishment or the Lord of the Rings, but better than just about anything else (everything else in the sci-fi genre).
