Summary: I'ts really and 11
Review: This book is among my livelong favorites, after reading it I spent a month recomending it to everybody I could. OSC shows a deep understanding of human nature which is, in reality the true reason for science fiction. From military tactics to the dificulties of growing up this book has a lot to offe

Summary: A novel with wit and humor, but also with a message.
Review: If one only reads the words on the pages, Ender's Game will seem like a juvenile book written about a juvenile boy for juvenile audiences. It's full of action, humor and all of your typical sci-fi techniques. But this book is also political, emotional, and very powerful. It's about the struggle Andrew Wiggin faces with his childhood in the future, his talent and how society inevitably tricks him into doing something that will haunt him the rest of his life. It's a powerful statement about war and society's prejudices. This is why Ender's Game is one of my favorite novels. It takes action and humor and manages to get across to the reader the horrors of war and prejudice

Summary: So it's not hard science fiction. . .WHO CARES!
Review: This is the best book I've ever read! People who don't usually enjoy science fiction this is the novel to read. It's got just the right amount of sci-fi, not so much that you're rendered sick for the rest of the book. Ender's is a book for everyone. Everything is easy to understand, and there's absolutely no confusion over some twenty letter word. So its not hard science fiction. Does that make it a 'fairy tale' or 'nursery rhyme' it very well can't be lyrics to a song. It's absolutely the best novel that I've ever read. Not the best science fiction novel, but the BEST NOVEL! This book is a must read

Summary: One of my all time favorites.
Review: This was really a fun book to read. I read it once about six years ago and again this past year. It was just as good the second time. The first book is definitely the best one in the series, although the others are fun too. I don't care what the other reviewers here say about kids not "thinking like that" cause I was a kid once and I remember having a lot of those same emotions at a very early age. I found the story very believable, but most imortant its just fun to read

Summary: I have to say this book is FANTASTIC
Review: Ender's Game is the story of a child who is rocked by an untolerating society, manipulative military, an abusive brother, and distant parents. Without his knowledge, Ender is manipulated by the military in a future society to annihiliate an entire race of beings. This book is strongly written, grips the reader's emotions, and plunges them into the a young boy's chaotic life. Definately adult reading material, though not due to any sexual adult content

Summary: WRONG TITLE: IT SHOULD BE CALLED "ENDER'S LAME"
Review: This was the first science fiction book I have read in a long time. And after reading "Ender's Lame" I am ready to go back to reading anything else BUT science fiction! I have never before read a more pretentious and shallow, not to mention silly story than this one about space boy meeting the bee people. That t.v. show, "Santa Claus Versus the Martians" had more depth than this trash. The thing that irks me the most about the story is the lack of believability. OK, I can deal with aliens attacking Earth, the military breeding kiddie war-geniuses, and war games in space. BUT THE DAMN SIX-YEAR-OLD, ENDER, ACTS LIKE AN ADULT! Future kid or not, he is nothing like a child, except in size. He thinks, acts, and talks like an adult. Card never offers any explanation as to why Ender is like this. The reader just has to accept it. Why couldn't Card give some explanation for the way space-boy is, or at least use an adult for the protagonist instead? The most unbelievable aspect of Ender was his advanced adult social skills. He knew things NO six-year-old could possibly know, such as one time when he offered his commander a chance to "save face." You learn these kinds of skills through experience, and usually far into adulthood. Question everything you read, readers. Just because it is science-fiction does not mean it has to be shallow and insulting to your intelligence

Summary: It's the story, not the science
Review: I just finished reading Ender's game last night, and thought I'd look it up here to see what other people thought of it. I thought it was bizarre that I would go through a mile long list of 9's and 10's and then see the occasional 1 or 2. I must admit that I am not an avid SF reader at all. I'm an English major, and most of my time is spent reading Shakespeare and that lot, so I thought I'd break into the world of SF for a change of pace. I found that and more with Ender's Game. No, it doesn't have a lot of fantastic and boldly original hard science fiction theories or anything extremely exotic, and if that's all you look for in a SF book then you might be disappointed. If, however, you're looking for a brilliantly told, compelling story about man's internal struggle with the forces of good and evil acting on him and within him, as well as a fresh approach to the coming of age story, then you'll find it in Ender's Game
