Summary: Ender ends mediocre :-)
Review: Pretty good book. I can't find anything else to say. Except of course mentioning the intricate plot in which we follow Ender on his way to supreme commander of the human spacefleet without ever knowing it himself. This is of course spiced up with the harsh interaction with the other students at the combat-school and you really start "live into" enders universe. Be there. Only drawback, I think, is the fuzzy ending. I've never read the other books in the series, but I sort of felt cheated when... Hehe, I won't tell you. Just read it.

Summary: Very Good. One of the best Sci-Fi
Review: I really liked Ender's Game. There were some parts which just made you so mad..which was a good thing..lol. The author truly made you feel what Ender was feeling in the book. It was incredible. However, even though "Ender's Shadow" is *not* in the Ender's Series...I think that had the best view of everything. I read both "Ender's Game" as well as "Ender's Shadow" at the same time and it was well matched. However, I think Bean's POV in Ender's Shadow had a more simpler way of explaining the complicated parts. Not that I'm saying Bean's simple. Lol. He's anything but. I really like Bean and Ender. They are both really, really well explained and they're very real. Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite Sci-Fi writers and I recc. anything he has written or will write.

Summary: The War of Communication
Review: It is impressive to see a war that was caused because of poor communication. That's quite like wars during the Dark Ages. This war took place in the future, however. This shows the Human race going to a "higher level", should I say. The wars are leaving the state of being between countries, and moving to between planets! Ender Wiggin hates the idea of war and joins the fight because of force. Colonel Graff turns out to be his real enemy, however, not Bonzo, or Bernard, or the other armies. Petra Arkanian turns out to be about the only girl in the whole school and becomes Ender's friend. "Take my monitor away, and I become just like Peter", Ender said. Ender seemed to hate his brother, but suddenly turned out to be exactly the same as him. He took down a boy known as Stilson who is considered to be Ender's mean bully. "Peter has no care or love for anybody," is the thought that Valentine and Ender both share. However at the great battle school that Ender is sent to, he starts to want his love. Valentine, his older, and caring sister can never understand this when she sees him once more. Peter still doesn't love him when he becomes the leader of the world and Ender is on the old alien world. Valentine loved Ender more than anybody. Still, she turns to become more like Peter when she becomes the new, and famous "Demosthenes" alongside her "honourable" brother, "Locke". Valentine hates being with her hated brother rather than the little brother that she always loved, and protected. Ender gets training from the great Mazer Rackham, whom has led the Humans to victory before. He trains Ender at the Command school to become a great admiral, and so he does and wins the third invasion with his team. This is an excellent book and I would reccomend it to anybody who wants to read anything.

Summary: missed
Review: Wow, close to 1500 reviews so far! This book was recommended to me by a very intelligent woman, and I enjoyed reading it. It is a relatively quick read and the pace of the story well serves the content. With so many reviews, I'm sure there is not much I can add. I consider this book average sci-fi. Another recent review mentions that Card insists that he never read Starship Troopers. That may be true, but I certainly found myself thinking about that far superior work very early on while reading this one. One comment, I have not seen, in any of the reviews I have read so far, mention of Card's hilarious preoccupation with which way is "down." By halfway through the book, I thought I would become ill if he revisited this simple premise. The attempt at a tie in, using this 'theme', at the end was meager. There was a lot of promise for exciting action in the descriptions of the games at the battle school. In my opinion, Card did not capitalize on this. Rebounding off walls, sliding along walls, 'stars' to hide behind, the enemy gate, etc. - yes, I understand all this, but it is not compelling. Ender's tricks and new ideas are offered as revolutionary grand strategy by the author. But there is not enough substance there. That would have been an interesting element on which to spend more time. In my estimation, Card missed the target just a bit with this one. There were the seeds of decent ideas however (all of this touched on in other reviews). I'll probably try the other books in the Ender quartet.

Summary: Best Sci-fi book ever!!!
Review: Ender's Game is an excellent book with a great storyline and well developed characters. The book will never loose your attention. (I have read it in a single sitting a countless number of times) I love the way OSC makes you think and how he makes you internally debate moral issues. I highly recommend this book!!

Summary: One of the best books i've read in a whileq
Review: There are a lot of books floating through my house because both my mother and I are avid readers. I found "Ender's Game" sitting on the table, picked it up and started to read. For the next two days that book didnt leave my side. I literally could not put it down because it was written so well. Not many books have this effect with me. The book was writen so well that every page hold suspense, even the last. I have just started the second book in the series and its just as good as the first. I recomend it to anybody that can read.

Summary: a GrEat Sci-fi nOvEL.
Review: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This is a great book! I'm not even all that into sci-fi novels, but I still enjoyed this book completly. It is very origanal and I can't think of another book with even a similar plot. After aliens attack the earth twice the government breeds military genisus and sends them to a military school at a young age, where they don't see their parents until they graduate. They play war games, and work their way up to toon leaders and finnaly command their own armies. The armies fight in zero gravity games. When they graduate they are sent to different schools, such as command school. Ender Wiggins is just a boy, but he is expected to be the next genius to save earth. His life is shaped by the teachers at the battle school. I just finished this book the other day, and I can't wait to get the sequel. This is one of my favorite books of all time, and I recomend it to anyone over twelve years of age!

Summary: Entertaining, But Shallow
Review: In the introduction to this very entertaining sci-fi story, the author states that he purposely avoided any true literary techiniques so that anyone can pick up the book and understand it fully. Well, he succeeded. Anyone above the age of 13 will find Ender's Game to be an extremely basic, albeit enjoyable, story that cannot hold a candle to anything by Robert A. Heinlein or Frank Herbert. This is unfortunate, since the points Card raises are all valid and he seems to have an unusually good grasp of how children think. The ideas of manipulation, child psychology, military psychology, and even overpopulation (among others) are all intruiging and all are featured in the work. However, because of Card's effort to allow everyone to fully understand Ender's Game with one reading, the issues raised become nothing more than background to an incredibly entertaining story. Few books have been as gripping as Ender's Game was and this is what truly elevates the book above other generic science fiction novels. The story of Ender and his struggles will especially hit a chord with young children and those who have had trouble connecting with their peers. For those who fall into one of those categories, I highly recomend Ender's Game. For everyone else, there is much better available.

Summary: Every Child is Ender and Every Adult is an Instructor
Review: Ender is the savior of the world, the end of the Buggers. Mankind is in a desperate fight to save the world, though it is delayed over decades because of space travel. Ender is the last chance before the human race is wiped out and he is a child. The teachers instruct him at a battle school for children, promoting him too early, isolating him and making him into a killing machine. He struggles with his killer instinct (represented by Peter his villainous older brother) and his compassion (represented by his angel sister Valentine). As adults read this they often find sympathy for Ender as one of their own children, not wanting him to go through the isolation, but know it is necessary for the greater good. Teenagers and children view themselves as Ender, always struggling to define themselves and fighting against the authority in their own lives. Readers of all ages become emotionally invested in the characters because of their vulnerability and tragic circumstances. Ender¡¯s Game is well constructed, exciting, and well worth reading.
