Rating: Summary: Wonderful! Review: My friend, on discovering that I had not yet read it, grabbed a copy of Ender's Game, shoved it in my hand, and said, "Read it. Now." Well, I did - and I was instantly converted. Before I was through, I'd wound my way through the sequels (which, though they frequently fail to live up to the original, are still well worth a read).All in all, Ender's Game more than lived up to my friend's strong recommendation and I have added this Hugo and Nebula Award winner to that short list of books I give to friends with complete confidence they'll love it as much as I did. I particularly like the fact that I can give it to a 12 year-old boy or a 30-something woman and still feel this confidence. It's a rare book that has such broad appeal. Perhaps the strongest comment I can make in favour of this novel is that, after finishing it, I was saddened because I'd used up all the time I had to spend with Ender and his compatriots. The sequels helped, to be sure, but the characters are somehow more genuine to me in this work than the later ones. I recommend this book without reservation.
Rating: Summary: This is an awesome book! Review: This is a book which was written very well and keeps the reader on his toes at all times. I recommend this book to any reader who likes a challenge.
Rating: Summary: LotF Review: This is a really well written book which can really challenge a person's judgement and convey the truth about human nature to its reader. I recommend this book to any reader who likes a challenge.
Rating: Summary: Read this book. There's no better way to say it. Review: What can you say about Ender's Game that hasn't already been said? Well, besides anything negative, there's nothing original to say, because tons of people have read this book and loved it. It is easily on of my two favorites (The other being Jurrassic Park), but it is the only one I go back to read again and again, just because it is so original, and Card makes you love the world he creates. You want to feel it, you DO feel it, you breathe the battle school experience and wish you were there, interacting in this world. I never wanted the book to end, just to stretch on in an eternity of battle school life. The characters, the story, the... experience. In a way, I'm sorry that there is a movie about it coming up, because it will never fulfill the the Enders Game world. I love that book, and I try to impart my love of that book to everyone I know. Read this book.
Rating: Summary: An excellent choice for Sci-Fi readers! Review: I was headed on a trip to Indonesia, and I picked out several Science Fiction books from the Library. My father also lent me Ender's Game. As coincidence would have it, I had taken out all 3 sequels to Ender's Game, so I got to read all 4. Ender's Game provided the most memorable characters and events I have ever read. I hope that Orson Scott Card continutes to right Parallel books (ie Ender's Shadow).
Rating: Summary: THE BEST BOOK EVER! Review: I read alot and am typically not impressed by books especially sci-fi. However Ender's Game was the best book I've read in a long time. It is certainly a leader in ratings and should be used as a example of sci-fi for without a doubt it is defidently one of the best there is.
Rating: Summary: A masterpiece! Review: This book really makes you feel sorry for Ender. It gets you inside his head and you know how he thinks and everything, even when it doesn't tell you what he is thinking, you know what is going through his head. I can guarunty that 99% of the people who read this book will love it. This masterpiece by Orson Scott Card will be remembered by me for all of my life. Read this book or you will have really missed out. If you read this book I would read Ender's Shadow before you start Children of the Mind.
Rating: Summary: Absoutly awesome with all the beauty of sci fi Review: I recieved my first copy of Enders Game when i was 17 from a co-worker. I read it, remembered it and loved it. Eventually over a series of moves i also lost it. I bought another copy and when it arrived i started reading immidatly. 226 pages under 36 hours. Thats with 10 hours of sleep as well. This copy that i have now is going into my safe. If anyone wants to borrow it they will require to beat me to death to get to it. It is absoutly the best book that i've ever read in the Sci-Fi section. Personal feelings aside. The way the book was written was in of itself beautiful. The detail to science i've never seen in other books. Not only the science part but the humanity, feelings and emotions. Bravo Orson Scott Card. I'm looking forward to reading the next book.
Rating: Summary: Ender's Game: A science fiction wonder Review: Ender's game is a sci/fi novel that tells the story of a young boy named Andrew Wiggum (named Ender by his sister Valentine). The story takes place on Earth in the future. Earth has been attacked twice by an alien species called the Buggers, nearly destroying the human race. Mankind begins training young genuses to fight as solgers and commanders in Earth's defence in case of another attack. Ender is extreamly intelligent for age six and gets sent off to battle school to train. He quickly rises among the ranks of people at battle school until he is at the top. He then begins training to lead Earth's fleet in battle. This book leaves you at the edge of your seat throughout the whole thing. If it is Ender's exteam violent nature or if the Buggers attack again. These things along with Orson Scott Card's Andrew "Ender" Wiggum make this book one of the best sci/fi books of all time. This is a must read for all sci/fi fans, and even if you don't like sci/fi, I am sure that this book will change some of your feelings about this genera.
Rating: Summary: All-time best book in the Galaxey Review: I am a writer and I have read this, along with some of Orson Scott Card's books. In the past, I generally wrote poetry and real-to-life stories. It was Ender's Game that inspired me to write science-fiction. Now am write sci-fi novels. The character profile is superb and it creates an emotional link to all of the charcters, namely Ender. It is well-written and discriptive yet it does't leave the reader to sit, oblivious to the language. I love this book with all my heart!
