Summary: THE MOST BRILLIANT BOOK WRITTEN BY A MAN!
Review: Although it is hard to describe or criticise ENDER'S GAME, I can easily say that it changed my whole life. I read it and was overwhelmed by its genious. Each time I read it Ifound something new for myself. Reading it once is being unfair to the book. It deserves to be read over and over again and again so it may be digested. if you see ENDER'S GAME on a shelf don't let it stay there.

Summary: A little kid that saves the world -but too young to do that?
Review: Despite the "hokeyness" of the cover of the book, the contents within are quite good. I read this book within a week and had a hard time putting the book down, it was a quick read and I anticipate reading the follow-up novels. The hero, Ender, is a 6-year old genius child that is slated to save the world. He is put through intensive and almost abusive situations in order to create the mind of an adept commander. Before his 2nd stage in duty, Ender ends up on Earth for a time of reflection at a wilderness retreat - this is one of the saddest part of the books. I liked the book very much, however, I found the age of the characters to be too young for the mature situations. I'm not sure how believable it is for a 6-year old to have the sophisticated thoughts that Ender displays. Nevertheless I found the book very enjoyable and recommend to any Science Fiction fan.

Summary: You haven't read this, you're no SF fan...
Review: In this age of marketing, advertising and intensive information exchange, superlative adjectives tend to be overused and abused. How can everything be unique or spectacular, for then good would surely be reduced to average? However, certain books (like any work of art or product/commodity) turn out to be true Classics, with broader and broader appeal; they actually improve with age as fine wine. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, can only be described as a true classic. It is a unique and brilliantly written work that keeps the reader enthralled and entertained throughout. The novel reads better now than when it was first published twenty-three years ago. The first book in a series (now five books total) of stories that revolve around lead character Andrew (Ender) Wiggin, Card weaves a totally believable universe containing two completely incompatible and utterly at-odds interplanetary species. One is the human race and one is a society of creatures known only as the "Buggers" due to their resemblance to insects. Earth society has temporarily suspended international hostilities to join together and fight the alien menace. This international cooperation spawns a worldwide recruiting process to identify, gather and train the best and brightest child minds. The ultimate goal is to mold them into leaders of the future human attack/defense forces against the alien Buggers. Card does an amazing job of relating the thoughts and fears of children in the story, who are almost exclusively the main characters. Also, he provides the characters with passion, strength and emotions that one would expect to see in children pushed to the brink of endurance. Title character Ender Wiggin is unknowingly pre-selected to lead the human forces pending his successful training regimen, and the majority of the novel focuses in the time period Ender spends training in Card's wonderful invention, the "Battle Room". The Battle Room and the "Battle School" are the main reasons this novel is great SF. It combines futuristic scientific applications that seem only just outside of current human reach, such as interstellar travel and control of gravity, plus the wonderfully depicted psychological interplay of a group of the most talented and aggressive youths the planet has to offer. Stylistically, Card is an excellent writer. His dialogue is top notch, and readers become very interested in the characters he aptly portrays. He uses strong, active verbs, that keep you on edge and reading the story way past bedtime. Recently, Card published the fifth novel in the series, Ender's Shadow, which retells the same story from the angle of a different character. Fans already familiar with the series will find the desire to re-read Ender's Game to cross-reference the newest addition to the Ender Universe. Like many great works by Jules Verne, appreciation of the Ender Universe continues to grow as time passes. The exponential increases in current technology in recent years only help bring Card's ideas into sharper focus and greater believability. This is a must read book for all that claim to be fans of the SF genre. However, the story also stands on its own with exciting action sequences and exceptionally likeable and well developed characters. It was both a Hugo and Nebula award winner, which is validaion to give it an automatic read for most SF fans. Do so, you will be glad you did.

Summary: a teacher's godsend
Review: If you teach general literature for kids anywhere from junior high to college, this is a great bet. I used it in my intro. to lit. with college sophmores in order to introduce ideas about how mythologies govern moral systems, idealism v. utilitarianism, inverted religious typologies, some traditional philosphy as well as the usual fiction elements (setting, plot, blah blah blah), and everyone loved it. This is a rare feat for a lit. class. Students who said they deplore sci. fi. said they loved it; students who said they deplor *reading* said they loved it. And Ender's Game functions nicely as a springboard into "heavier" texts. It's also amenable to introduction to literary theories such as postmodernism, freudianism, and the old standby of structuralism. Best of all, it's great fun--your students will actually contribute to class discussion!

Summary: select buzzword
Review: First of all I'd like to say that there are 2 things wrong with other reviews this is in a genre called science FICTION! if you're concerned about realism I hope you didn't read 2001 and second the book's simplicity masks the underlying messages that you interpret in your own way. other than that loved it bla blah blah
