Summary: Immpossible to hold onto
Review: I've given away countless copies. Ender is the perfect hero for anyone who was isolated as a child, simply for being smart. Witty and engaging, Card nails childhood, military schools, and sports. He then goes one step further and winds them into a wonderful story. A must read.

Summary: War Games with a twist
Review: Endor's Game is one of the most famous works in the SF genre, and the most famous of all of Card's work. If you have ever read anything by Card and liked it, you will probably enjoy Endor's Game.If you have not ever read a book by Orson Scott Card, or ambivalent about one that you read, you should be aware that "Ender's Game" is definitely a book suited for a young audience. This does not mean that it cannot be enjoyed by others, but children are very likely to enjoy it. The entire book, or most of it, is written in a third person perspective centered on Ender, the title character. Ender is a young child who is quite precocious. He does very well at games and much of the book is a detailing of his experience at a training center. Then he is requisitioned to work in a special training program to help the humans against their alien aggressors. The twist at the end is not hard to see coming if you look for that sort of thing. The imagery is quite good. No connoisier of SF has a complete background until he reads this novel.

Summary: Quick moving and engrossing
Review: Few books have captured my attention like ENDER'S GAME. Having somehow avoided reading this book for 16 years, I picked it up recently at lunch and finished it in one sitting. It's that good. Although some parts of the book seem a bit unnecessary and extraneous (i.e., the Demosthenes and Locke portions), and the big "surprise" ending isn't that big of a surprise (at least not to me), the book is extraordinarily well-written and quick moving. Anyone who is a big fan of "boot-camp" or other "hero-overcomes-horrible-childhood" books like Starship Troopers, Sten, or (a much, much weaker example) F.M. Busby's Bran and Rissa books will most likely enjoy reading this. In all honesty, I fairly dread the sequels to this book, although I see little way that I can avoid reading them. I strongly expect them to be more in line with TOR Books' other offerings...generally shallow, pulp sci-fi.

Summary: A literary masterpiece
Review: Full of friendship, hate, suspense and suprise enders game turns unenthusiastic readers into a lovers of literature. A unique story of a child twisted and manipulated into war general to face intergalactic enemies. I recomend it to all ages above 12 do to vulgar and profane attributes of the book.

Summary: Most Excellant
Review: There is a reason that this book has 1000 plus positive reviews. It is simply a good read. Anyone who has experienced childhood and puberty can identify with this novel. It evokes memories of struggles and conquests while stirring emotions by posing questions of ethics and moral dilemma. It does all this without weighing down the story, in fact it helps increase the tension that is only released at the very last moment in a smashing conclusion. There is something special for everyone that reads this novel. Buy it, read it, share it.

Summary: An instant favorite
Review: When some people browse through books, they see the sci-fi logo and are imediately put off by it, I know some of my friends did just that, but that was a big mistake. Sure Ender's Game takes place in a science fiction world yet, there is much more to it. Card touches many themes in this book such as manipulation, isolation and human psychology. Card's introduction also helps with the feeling of the book by writing some excerpts from letters he has received. Anyone who is similar to Ender can quickly understand what he was going through the book and can make many personal connections. Whether you're a sci-fi fan or not, I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Science fiction at its finest
Review: For me, most science fiction takes itself way too seriously. I don't like books that require a glossary. Ender's Game isn't about the wonderful inventions the author imagines will happen, or the alien blasting battles. Both inventions and battles are present, and plentiful, but the story is really just about a boy. Andrew Wiggins, or Ender, as he calls himself, is a genius in a family of geniuses. There is a great war coming, and the world government needs a genius to lead the battle. He is chosen and pulled from school to be enrolled in Battle School, with the expectations of the entire world on his shoulders. He is six. The story follows Ender through training as he learns how to fight, then teaches his classmates how to think. Ender is a caring, empathetic child, but before he even reaches Battle School he is separated from his peers and forced to fight to defend himself. The battle scenes are well written, but the most fascinating part is watching Ender grow into a leader, while understanding that what he wants most is to be accepted as part of the group. Without giving away anything, the resolution of the story is inspired, and I look forward to reading the sequel, Speaker for the Dead.

Summary: Simply Amazing.
Review: This is the best book I have ever read. And the sequels just make it better. The way Card makes all the different sublots is amazing. I just wish that he made more sequels.

Summary: I Loved This Book!
Review: "Ender's Game" really amazed me! I generally do not like sci-fi books, but everyone in my class was reading and loving "Ender's Game" so I gave it a try. It swept me off my feet! Andrew Wiggin (Ender) is exceptionally bright. He is a genius, in fact. He has a brother, Peter, and a sister, Valentine. One day, Ender gets a visitor from Battle School, a school where they train young boys and girls to become battle geniuses to fight the "buggers" (aliens) who have invadaded Earth twice already. He decides to go off to Battle School, where he plays war games with "armies" in the Battle Room. The teachers try hard to make Ender the perfect commander- they make sure he never depends on anyone, they try hard to kill his senses of pity and compassion. When reading this book, I fuond it hard to beliieve that the children in it were only six or eight- battle matured and hardened them so much. "Ender's Game" was GREAT. Read it!
