Summary: Why Enders Game is Great
Review: Enders Game...This book has touched the minds and souls of millions...Among them, my own. Why you ask? Enders game is as thought provoking, as it is good. The book makes you think about people. What we are, and why do what we do. When I read this book for the first time, it struck me...it is not a Sci-Fi book. It is a drama. The way it depicts human nature is profound. It makes you think about why you act the way you act. The ffects that I just described are done through the charecters. Ender himself is an innocent. He commits horrible acts, becuase he is forced into horrible situations. After reading these situations you wonder, "Am like _________ or am I like Ender?". Self reflection is act of the day kids....and what better book to inspire self reflection, then Enders Game. READ THIS BOOK!

Summary: This book is a real winner!
Review: I don't read science fiction, but this book isn't really science fiction. Ender's Game is a book that makes anyone who reads it evaluate their own lives and the lives of their children. Ender is a child genius who is trained to become the next great commander in the war against the aliens, or "buggers". Ender goes to Battle School and learns war tactics, while the teachers isolate him and allow all other boys to tease, hurt, and humiliate him. Ender is forced to rely only on himself. Ender is then graduated to Command School, where he learns strategy and how to command the forces, not actually being the forces. The end of this book is surprising, and I am not going to reveal it. Read the book Ender's Game, and you will be knocked for a loop. This book makes you think, something that most books rarely do. Thank you, Orson Scott Card, for writing such a deep work. I look forward to reading the next books.

Summary: Good, but not quite worth the hype
Review: To my surprise, the last 40 pages of Ender's Game largely redeem the novel, and raise my rating from 2 stars to 3 (3.5, if I could), especially for young readers. I've read enough sci-fi novels that have great ideas but weak endings not to give a great ending credit when it's due. For more mature readers (I'm 31), the rest of the novel doesn't offer very much more than a few cleverly integrated concepts of the psychology of leadership, with little growth in the protagonist. Like a comic book superhero, Ender never missteps, and the obstacles he faces are all quickly dispatched with a minimum of fuss and exposition. One can see why the novel appeals so much to young readers. Minor point of logic: one wonders how victory could have been complete given the bugger's apparently extensive off-world colonization.

Summary: so stinking much fun to read
Review: There are lots of books in the English language that you won't be able to put down once you start reading them. These books are a great gift to the reader. The first time I read EG, I picked it up in the school library before first period and skipped a whole day of classes to finish it. There aren't a lot of books that demand, once you've voraciously consumed them, to be immediately read again. EG is one of those books. Its value as entertainment is unsurpassed in the Science Fiction genre. It may not be SciFi's best entry (so far, for my money, that award goes to Hyperion), but it is certainly one of the most delicious. Somehow Scott Card manages to combine every boy's dream of zero gravity space play, the ultimate war game (where you can accurately shoot without harm), an epic science fiction tale, with the speculative religious/scientific ethical considerations that distinguish good SciFi from bad space opera. You will love this book. There was a time in my life when I recommended this book to strangers in the SciFi bookstore aisle. I would do so with such passion that they would, without exception, buy the book. Read this book and thank me later.

Summary: Not as good as I'd hoped
Review: I'm another one who kept hearing great things about 'Ender's Game', and when I saw the new posters with Jake Lloyd (Anakin in Star Wars) reading it, I decided to try it out. And of course, I was disappointed. It isn't a bad book - I put it down a few times, and discarded it in favour of a magazine or two, and even an entire other book, but I was compelled to read on, I suppose, because the story was so good. But that's where it ends. I found it very hard to visualise anything because Card uses no descriptive language at all; the book is one long string of 'he saids' and 'she saids' and 'they dids'. The entire book depends on action rather than exposition and it left me feeling no connection to the story, or even the characters. Because much as we root for Ender, we know he doesn't need us to - he always wins anyway, no matter how bad the odds, so there's little compulsion to read to the end of the book, once this rather boring pattern has established itself. Which is a shame, because I was rather enjoying it; there were some startlingly thought provoking, well written passages here and there and plenty of excitement (until it got too predictable) but not enough to make it a great book.

Summary: More Than Just Sci-Fi
Review: Ender's Game is almost a work of phychology, in the fact that it explore the subtle changes of Ender's mind as the teachers make decisions that affect him. It is a great book for parents and teachers alike because of the uncovering of a childs limits and his tolerances. It can be taken from many different veiwpoints. There is the child viewpoint where the child thinks its just a cool book, and there is the adult viewpoint where the adult sees how much these kids can take. I recommend this book to all, young and old, even if you hate science fiction.

Summary: I highly recommend it
Review: This is probably the best sci-fi book ever written, It has a great anount of suspence; I guarantee that you won't be able to put it down. Not only is it great for entretainment, but also, it has a lot of deeper issues. I highly recommend it. IT ROCKS
