Summary: A Perfect Blend of Sci-Fi and Imagination
Review: This book has everything you could want: action, mystery, feeling, and imagination. It is about a seven-year-old boy, named Andrew Wiggin (or Ender), who is sent to a battle school in space where he is tought to be a leader, and how to fight fights. Sounds boring? The thing is this 7-year-old is the human races last hope against an alien invasion. He gets to think up strategies for fighting in zero-gravity, and is tested in simulators. But what happens when they aren't just simmulators anymore? That is what this book is about. So if you enjoy books you just can't put down, then go read Ender's Game.

Summary: My favorite book.
Review: This book is just plain amazing. Every page makes you want to turn to the next. The characters are deep and interesting and the plot has its share of twists and turns. At the end of this book, you will be satisfied, you will be amazed, you will have a feeling of sadness and content. Sad for a little boy, taken away from his parents and his ciblings to be turned into a monster in order to eliminate a once violent species that no longer is hostile towards earth. You will be sad for Ender. Of course, only people who have read the book will understand the last couple of sentences, so read the darn book.

Summary: Insensitive, unrealistic, sexist children's novel
Review: "Ender's Game" is about a military school for boys aged 6 to 12. In particular, it's about a "genius" boy named Ender who's about 30 IQ points smarter than your average adult Nobel laureate. Ender heroically wins fights against other boys, both individually and leading an "army" of 40 boys.Ender never misses his parents. Occassionally he misses his sister, but he wills himself not to cry or show emotion. Being a genius makes Ender unpopular with the other boys, so he has no deep friendships, just an occasional boy who says something nice. The military school is on a satellite, isolated above Earth, hundreds of years in the future. When I picture Orson Scott Card instead writing the same novel set in present-day Africa, with child soldiers, the insensitivity of this novel becomes apparant. And where are the girls in this future? In Scott's vision of the future, all world leaders are men. A friend's mother, who had a Ph.D. and had once been a lab assistant for Crick and Watson, constantly told her youngest son that he was a genius and would someday be the greatest scientist who ever lived. By second grade the boy was having so many problems in school that two teachers asked him to be moved out of their classes. He's now in his mid-30s. He never graduated from college, has never held a job for long, and has little social life. Orson Scott Card has a good imagination and can keep you turning the pages. But I found myself turning the pages despite feeling disgusted by this book. I got three-quarters of the way through and stopped reading it. [...].

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Just finished reading Ender's Game for the fourth time, and I'm still noticing new things that I missed before. I own three copies so that I can always have two lent to friends. Everyone should read it! And for those who want to read more about the other characters, try the other books in the series, particularly the "parallel" books starting with Ender's Shadow.

Summary: The Best There Is...
Review: I actually had to read Ender's Game my senior year in high school...it was definitely the best book I've ever had to read for school...and one of my top five books of all time. Orson Scott Card is a master, and he's at his finest in Ender's Game. The story of a child prodigy, Ender Wiggin is sent to a special military school for geniuses in the hopes that he -- and the others at Battle School -- can lead Earth's forces in defending the home planet against a pending alien invasion. Ender is the best of the best...and it shows in his tactical thinking. But those who run Battle School are constantly testing Ender above and beyond the other child geniuses at the school...and Ender may crack under the strain. To find out what happens...read this book...it really is some of the best SciFi ever written.

Summary: Is 5 stars as high as the review will go?
Review: I first read Ender's Game the summer of my 7th grade year. I was forced by my parents to pick 3 books to read. I stumbled across this book, and it seemed decent enough. I was in for a pleasant surprise. Every single paragraph in this book is a masterpiece. The dialogue, and even more importantly, the plot, is simply excellent. I cannot express my appreciation to Card for writing this book. I have spent countless hours reading Card's other books, both in the Ender series, and ones not in the Ender series. The plot is so well developed that you will not be able to put the book down, and I truly mean that. It might be wise to choose a 3 day period where you will be able to read this cover to cover. I know I got it at like 5 PM one day and read until the sun rose the next morning and I had finished. It is that good. If there is one book that you read this year, please choose to read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

Summary: The Way Science Fiction Should be Written
Review: The Earth's fate rest in the hands of children leader amongst them Andrew "Ender" Wiggins. That is the extent of plt summary this review is going to get. This novel is periphally science fiction, but like the true masters before him Card uses a speculative setting to focus on humanity. I always felt the best sci-fi were humanistic novels that happened to contain extrateresstial or extraoridnary occurances. Ender's Game leads the pack. Card did such an intensely accurate job in his characterization, that I'm sure I am not alone in being choked up watching the government manipulate Ender for their own ends, but "with the best of intentions" Ender is a wholly three dimensional character as are his comrades whose training affects the fate of the earth. This novel is better I thought than his follow ups Speaker for the Dead Etc. And with Ender's Shadow series released(I haven't read it yet but its on my list) I know at least this past summer there was renewed interest in the original, and rightfully so. One of the best aspects about this novel is its universal appeal, my friend who doesn't read as a rule LOVED IT which says much about Card's talents.

Summary: A great beginning for a great series...
Review: Orson Scott Card has created a beautiful masterpiece, the book itself is greatly detailed and the plot is a thrilling eye-opener. I loved how there even was a side story of his brother and sister that tied in with the tale of Ender Wiggins. You even feel edgy when he is on the brink of insanity or, just giving up.
I have recently finished the book and cannot wait to read the next.

Summary: respectably childish
Review: This book was the best I have ever read which is why I give it a five star rating. The book is genius in its self along with Ender and the humor is quite good. Yet I couldn't get over the fact that the enemy was called the buggers, it just sounds so corney and who would be afraid of a bugger I wouldn't. I can understand that the kids call each other fart eaters and other childish names but when the adults call each other fart eaters as well I couldn't help but to think how juvenile it was. With all this in mind I still couldn't put the book down from the moment I started reading it because it truly is the best book I have ever read so when people say the book is childish they're not wrong in saying it but that doesn't make Enders Game any less of a book and it shouldn't affect you're decision on wether or not you should read the book.
