Summary: The Best
Review: This is one of the best books I have read in my life. Being an avid reader I do not say this lightly. When you do read this book make sure you have no pressing buisness for the next few days as you will cancel them to finish this masterpiece.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: NON-SCI-FI fan LOVED this book
Review: As a rule, I don't read sci-fi. As my sister-in-law recommended this book, I thought I'd try it. I LOVED it. Its theme is remarkably close to that of my favorite book: The_Power_of_One. It's an underdog story. While the action was OK, I really liked the non-battleroom game sequences, which follow you to the end and introduce the most fascinating part of the story: the Speaker for the Dead. I haven't read the sequels yet, but I hope they live up to Ender's_Game.

As for the appropriateness of the book for young kids, I think it's a middle school read, despite 1 or 2 very tame swear words. It's definitely no worse than the average PG movie.

The most amazing parts of the story are the refereneces to modern day inovations, like instant messaging and bulletin boards. It represents what I see as the strength of sci-fi: the ability to derive the future from our current technology.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't read the others before this one!
Review: This book kicks off the Ender series by Orson Scott Card, and sets the tone for the next three books. Card uses moral puzzles and the characters' internal reflections to offset the fast-paced action of this book.

Having heard nothing about this book before I began reading it, I was quite surprised to find that the hero was a six year old boy. However, despite his young age, Ender is mature beyond his years, and the world that surrounds him puts his considerable talents to use.

This book is a very good read, endears you to the characters quickly, and is a MUST if you are going to read the subsequent books in this series. Due to Ender's age in this book, there is no romantic element, but it is more than compensated for by the books continuous action and tension.

I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best book ever! It'll change the way you think.
Review: This book really hit me deep. Card portrays Ender and his young commrades in such a life like way that you can really get into the character. I found myself thinking as Ender and trying to figure out what he would do. Its a book that really changes the way you think about everything. Suddenly everything becomes a challenge like Ender faces. Something that can be overcome, something to test your limits. Every child should read it. I just finished it today at school and i already want to change the way i've led my life and got the sequel on the way home. Ender is a role model for childeren and adults everywhere. I hope other people can connect with it the way i have.

Summary: Ender's Game
Review: Hi people do you like action movies like Resident Evil and Star Wars? If you do you should read Ender's Game. The book is about a kid named Ender who gets send to the military. He and the other people in the military have to save human life by fighting against aliens. Ender is a 10 year old kid.

The book is about a kid named Ender and one day when he was coming home a military commander comes to see if Ender wants to join the military if he would like to kill some alien scum. When he joins the military to save human life with other people a lot of those kids would hate him cause the commander would say that he is the best and better than them. P> This is a good book because the author describes the characters. The book has action in it. The book is about 300 hundred pages. When you read this book you would want to keep on reading it. Even though the book has a lot of action it has a lot of talking so you now what's going on in the book.

I recommended this book to people who like action and science fiction books. It is because a war is going on and the war takes place in space.



Rating: 1 stars
Summary: INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE
Review: I DO NOT agree with the publisher regarding the recommended age for this book. There is language in it (e.g., bastard, pisshead) that is highly inappropriate for 9 to 12 year olds. This was originally an adult book that was re-released with a new kid-friendly cover. Regardless of how interesting the story might be, I would not purchase it for my child.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Is this a book or a dream?
Review: My 8th grade English teacher began reading this in class as soon as school started. I loved it from beginning to end After the 4th chapter I checked it out and it was amazing!
The plot blew me away and Ender helped me understand myself better! It shocks me at his age how he is doing so well. I love to read fantasy and sci-fi and this book is over the edge with the way it describes the world of children today cause I know the way Ender feels with Bonzo and Stilson. Over all the best book I ever had read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing, Formative, Influential
Review: I think just about everything that could be said has been said about this book. It was one of the key books I read during my formative middle school years, and has stuck with me. Ender and I shared a paranoia based on adverse conditions, and I've loved the little guy ever since.

Great book, excellent plotting, very witty (if sometimes in a school-boyish way) chapter openings, and characters you will probably care about in ways that few other books have ever made you feel.

I recommend all of the other books in the first quartet. The second quartet, so far, exhibits decreasing quality with each book. Though everyone who liked _Ender's Game_ should read _Ender's Shadow_.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best book I have ever read in my entire life!!!
Review: I think this book it the best book in the world, and I'm not just saying that. I personly enjoy science fiction books and fantasy books. Although it is an anormous book, it is well worth the late hours on my bed reading and reading and reading.
I love it because it is action pacted, has a great story line, and best of all, I can relate to the main character. This book takes place hundreds of years from know. It's about a younge boy that goes in a revolving battle station in the Earth's gravitational pull. In this battle station, instructers teach other younge boys and girls how to be fighter pilots for the wars in the future. Everything seams to go acourding to plans when a new batch of kids come. In that batch, there's a kid who breaks all the rules and rises up against the intructers. They were going to send him back when they found out he was a genis. After much tormoil and cunfusion for the younge boy, he made it to the big leages. All he has to do is pass a test, a test thats he has been training for. A test that he didn't know he was training for. This test is a videogame, or is it more . . .

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Read
Review: I flew threw this book. I just happened to come accross this book and I am glad I did. Unlike most books this stayts with you and has you thinking about it well after you have put it down. There could of been better character development in some instances, but the main characters for the most part were well developed. The story is grand in scope, but stayed very personall which I liked. And the Science Fiction stayed light on the science so even those who are not big sci-fi fans can enjoy this book.
