Summary: Mixed Emotions
Review: I have mixed reviews about this novel. Honestly I am not a huge science fiction reader but because I am taking a course in college taught by a proffessor who loves his sci-fi, I have begun to expand my readings and learn to appricate outer space and out of this world ideas. This book is an easy read that can easliy be read in a few sittings, what most college students need! While being a simply written book it is complicated in its look at the human condition. The choas this book has is a warning to all of us just how ruthless the human race can be. Cards novel describes everything in detail with the perfect combination of action and drama. You feel like your in battle school with this boys experencing everything that these genious boys and girls feel. What I seemed to enjoy about this book is the main character Ender who is unpredictable and extremmly complicated all at the same time. He's an intelligent child who believes he is playing a game and has no worries but is suprised in the last two chapters of the book. It follows his inner struggles along with the war of the game he is forced to play. As you read deeper you see that Ender is becoming a killer, what he fears most. Ender is talented, ruthless and senestive all at the same time. This is proved, at age eleven he commandes a fleet and destroyes the enemy along with himself. Why I am mixed about this book is because hes a believable character in some aspects of the plot then not believable in others. At the age of eight Ender was ejected from his unpleasnat life on earth where he was made fun of and sent to battle school where he leads a fleet to destroy the enemy. I guess it was hard to relate to a bunch of children who had the responsibilites and brains of an old man whose mission was to fight the bad guys. A typical story I think. If your a true fan of science fiction would I recommened this novel, if not then leave it to an assigned course reading.

Summary: A Classic Must Read for SF Fans. A Great Read for Anyone.
Review: For anyone interested in Science Fiction there are certain "must read" books: The Foundation Trilogy; Dune; The Martian Chronicles; Stranger in a Strange Land -- you get the drift. Ender's Game is also on the list. So if you're new to the genre -- buy this book. If you're already a fan, but somehow missed this one -- stop reading reviews and buy the book; now. If you're not a Science Fiction fan, but enjoy good literature -- buy the book. It is purely and simply, a great read.Card creates a world and peoples it with characters worth caring about. He moves them through their challenges in a manner flowing from the characters, not his need for something to happen. The result is a masterpiece. I do not know a single person who has read this book who hasn't enjoyed it. P.S. After reading it, treat yourself to Ender's Shadow, in which the action overlaps Ender's Game's, but from the perspective of another character -- Bean. It's a real treat to look into Card's world from a different window.

Summary: It's my favorite
Review: What can I say about Ender's Game? It's been my favorite book since I read it in jr. high. I've read a lot of great books since then, but none with the mix of action, intelligence, story, characters, and staying power (I've read it many times and still enjoy every bit) as this one. It's my favorite of OSC's work, as well. Even if you're not a science fiction fan this book will probably appeal to you. It is set in the future and has some of those typical elements, but the sci fi element is written so well and with so much style that even someone who's not a fan of the genre can appreciate the book. Highly recommended.

Summary: One of the best EVER books
Review: Ender is a boy genius and a 'third' (a third child who is looked down apon, usually hated by peers and in most cases unwanted) at the time when the earth is being attacked by an alien race called the buggers. The buggers want to destroy the earth and almost did the last time they attacked. So Ender is pulled off to battle school to be trained to fight in the army against the buggers. Card describes everything in such detail that even though it's written in third person, you still feel like you're experiencing everything with Ender, feeling his feelings. Everything in battle school seems so real even though it's just a fantasy to us. Meanwhile, while Ender is at battle school, his brother and sister or working on a 'project' of their own. When you finish Ender's Game you woun't be able to wait to read the next book.

Summary: Absolutely a must read.
Review: This is the first Orson Scott Card book that I have read. Being a fan of scifi and seeing that this was the first book to win Both the Hugo and Nebula award I figured I would check it out. Well, what can I say...this book is definitely a page turner and the ending...well...let's just say that it was an absolutely great ending. After finishing the book it had me wanting to go straight out and buy the other books in the series.

Summary: The Supreme Sci-Fi Novel, rivals Dune
Review: Ender's Game is a masterwork. Not only does it explore the human mind, it tells an exciting story of war and politics. Ender is tricked into killing the Buggers, who turn out to be ramen instead of varlese (see Demosthene's definitions), leaving Ender with an immense amount of guilt, introducing the other works in this series. Read it, you won't regret it.

Summary: Great, great, great!
Review: This book is really a pleasure to read. The story is a great one and the characters are interesting and engaging. There is an urgency to the plot that captivates you from the start. What I like about this book the most is that none of the characters are oversimplified. In fact, the main characters, and in particular Ender, are all quite complicated and unpredictable. The reading is easy. I poured through this one in a couple of sittings, and if I did that then most of you can read this in a sitting. (slow reader here!) I recommend Ender's Game without reservation.

Summary: A Great Novel and a Fantastic Series
Review: Ender's Game... All that I really need to say. Why should I bother telling how well the chararacters work with the environments that Card puts them in. The main problems that I have with Sci-Fi is the believability factor. I could see this one happening in some form in Earth's future. (Well perhaps not but still- read this). The rest of the doesn't have the action that this one does but that doesn't matter at all.

Summary: Not an avid Sci-fi reader
Review: The science fiction aspect of this book is not what made it excellent for me. It's how Mr. Card seems to understand the human condition that made me keep flipping pages. He fleshes out the characters and lets you see the demons that plague these people. I'd recommend this book to anyone even if you aren't "into" science fiction. It's one of the most intriguing books I've read the past few years.
