Summary: Wonderful... For All the Right Reasons.
Review: Ender's Game is a wonderful work of science fiction. I'll leave the overall synopsis to the thousand or so other reviewers who've come first and focus on a few main points. It's imperative that the universe in which a scifi novel takes place be well developed. Card does a wonderful job of developing a world different and fascinating and yet so familiar. It's not hard to imagine, given the threat of alien invasion and the challenges faced in Ender's universe, the governments of the world developing such a battle school and strike first mentality as Card envisions. The tactics used to develop children into capable soldiers, while at first a shock to the senses, don't seem so much so as the novel progresses. Of course we feel for Ender as he faces various challenges, some threatening his very survival, but we never question the validity or plausibility of those challenges. That is the real beauty of this book. Card creates a very believable world and populates it with characters we genuinely care about... and we do care about Ender. In Ender, Card creates a wonderful mix of intelligence, innocence and strength. He's a child, not only tasked with saving the world, but doing so while struggling to retain not his innocence, but his very humanity. What is more interesting than watching a child, the very symbol of innocence, try and remain human as the pressures of a world terrified of invasion, desperate for a savior, weigh in upon him? Card's use of a child as the focal point in the timeless duty vs. personal morality struggle is simply wonderful. A beacon of light in a world full of serialized Dungeons and Dragons novels and video games turned books trash

Summary: Here is the best book you'll ever read!
Review: I was first given this book in the seventh grade. I was mesmorized and finished in a night. Right after, I bought all the sequals and read them too. Since then I have read the book several times and have joined the Philotic web to talk with others who loved this book as well. Trust me. When you read this book you will love and most likely think it's the best book you have ever read.ENDER'S GAME ROCKS!

Summary: MENTAL BOOT CAMP
Review: This is a very original, very thought-provoking book. Even halfway throught it, I could see why it got the Hugo and Nebula awards. The way the book is structured is very much like Pohl's Gateway, jumping back and forth between two seperate yet pertinent events. Don't let the front cover fool you, though. Most of the warfare in this book is psychological, which is a fresh departure from the norm. Not only are the characters and their actions/reactions interesting, they also make sense, too. At every page in this book you feel like YOU are Ender Wiggins, being slowly crushed by the ludicrous commands of his superiors. In that way, this book is like my title suggests--a mental boot camp. You will finish reading this novel and be a changed person. There is some humor in the book, as well as some really witty sayings--stuff that would make Yoda jealous. But the reason why I gave it one star is because the book is rather slow. Slow compared to the other 188 books I've read since 8th grade. The book is a little over 200 pages long, but more than half of that is strictly about Ender Wiggins in Battle School or Command School, fighting mock battles. I felt that OSC could have added another thread or two going through his work to make it read faster. But don't let the pacing scare you away. This book should be required reading and I'm very very glad that I read it.

Summary: This is the ultimate in SCI-FI
Review: I'm a Marine, this is on the Marine Corps Reading List. So I read it and fell in love with the story of coming together as a team to overcome an enemy that is overwhelming and unbeatable. It will keep you up at night as you follow a child through an adventure that would make most kids turn and run away. A definite buy for the SCI-FI lover as well as the yound adventurer in all of us.

Summary: Two Parts of the book especially interesting
Review: I filmed several scenes from Ender's Game with a group of about five people for an English class assignment. One of the aspects of the book that helped us do the assignment and that improved its overall quality was the dialogue before each chapter between two of the people at the Battle School. Their discussions of Ender's emerging violence added to Ender's own thoughts. Another part of the book that I liked was the dual storyline with the main story of Ender at Battle School and a secondary story of Peter and Valentine with Earth politics.

Summary: Excellent
Review: Orson is a master of getting into people's heads. Not the head of a sick, twisted criminal, as so many fiction writers do. Rather, the head of an intelligent, gifted, kind, caring child. I first read this book 9 years ago, and it motivated me to read all of Card's books. He has several gems, but this is TOPS. Warning: after reading this book, fiction was disappointing for several years afterwards, as nothing can measure up to this one! I have re-read this 3 times and it continues to be my favorite!

Summary: Among The Great 20th Century Science Fiction Novels
Review: "Ender's Game" is a powerful, emotionally gripping tale about a young boy destined to lead humanity in an all out war against aliens. It is both a brilliant, thoughtful work of psychological science fiction, and one of the best written space operas in the history of science fiction. Andrew "Ender" Wiggin is one of Orson Scott Card's most intriguing literary creations; his heroic journey from an innocent youth unable to understand the consequences of the war games he participates in, to a young man, on the verge of adulthood, who finally comprehends the alien enemy, is one readers will find most rewarding. Indeed, it is a splendid tale that deserves a wide audience well beyond science fiction fandom. Along with "Songmaster", it is unquestionably Card's best work of fiction.

Summary: AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Every couple of months I ask one or two of my friends to come up with some books I should read but that I haven't yet read. This time both friends listed Ender's Game as their top pick. I had heard alot about it so I went to the library and got it. Wow! It was an amazing book. I couldnt put it down. Here are the details: It's about a little kid in the future who has been picked as mankind's last hope. The book is about his struggle to come to terms with who he is and why he is so important. Along the way he learns alot about how humans react to each other and about how life isn't as simple as it seems: sometimes you have to make choices not for your benefit but others as well. It was such a great book that I couldn't stop thinking about it after I finished. Orson Scott Card's writing brilliance is shown in this book more than any other. I would recommend it to anyone. Other good books by Orson Scott Card include: "Pastwatch-the Redemtion of Christopher Colombus", "The Memory of Earth", and "The Seventh Son".

Summary: the only book that I have read
Review: These book has many good plots. It has many plots that make the main plot more interesting to read. I like these book so much, that I actually read the whole book. These book made me keep on reading it not like others. These book had lots of action and it made you think what would happen to Ender in the battle room and in the battle school. I also liked that the adults manipulated Ender into doing what they wanted. Ender also showed the other boys that he could not be messed with or they would suffered lots of pain, like Bernard.These what made a great book to me. Thank you for reading these review
