Summary: Ender's Game
Review: I loved the book Ender's Game. It is very suspensful and interesting. The plot keeps on moving around Ender, Valentine & Peter, continuously while keeping the plot interesting. Orson Scott Card revolves the plot very neatly keeping most of the book to Ender, while devoting a large amount of the book to the other minor characters. Card is a very talented author. I can extrapolate that fact by reading this book. The sheer plot and intensity, the twists and turns, they demonstrate pure genius. In my opinion, I believe this is a 5 star book that everyone should read.

Summary: Damn good book...
Review: This book is one of those ones you can just keep reading... because it always speaks to you. There's always something in the story to stick out to you for you to identify with... whether it be the conflict between Ender and his teachers, Ender and the other children, or the politics of Peter and Valentine as they work to save the world from itself in Peter's quest for power, it always has something for you to notice new, something else to wonder over.

Summary: "Ho, Ender!"
Review: I was introduced with this book by my elemtary school (where I work) librarian. She recommended me this book if I was a science fiction reader. In just several pages, I was captured by Ender's story, and was surrounded with the anticipation of the story that was to unfold. I thought that the book was written very recently. The concept and the way the story was going was so briliant and amazing, I was so surprised to find out that it was written in 1970's. Because the story did not fall behind any short from those of Star Treks or other recent science fictions. This book captured me the moment I opened it, and I do not believe there will be any other!

Summary: Wow
Review: I just re-read the book that I loved so much when I read it as a child, and it the pleasure was undiminished. If the greatest failing of Science Fiction is the lack of characterisation, Card is nothing short of magnificent in his depiction of Ender, the reluctant hero. It manages to deliver the epic storyline of the battle to save the human race coupled with the sensitivity of multi-faceted and well crafted characters. This book truly deserves it place amongst those books that surpass their genre.

Summary: Truly excellent book !
Review: Ender's Game is truly a wonderful read. The detail on the strategy and the squad type warfare is enough to keep anyone with an enjoyment of battle interested from the first page to the last. I've rarely read a book with that kind of detail, and yet action enough for a die-hard Rambo fan. I would recommed it to anyone who enjoys SF, or to anyone who enjoys war stories.

Summary: A wonderful read with genuine significance
Review: I hadn't read the gushing reviews of Ender's Game when I initially picked the book up. Rather, I had seen it advertised at the local cinema on one of those advertisements that are flashed before the feature starts. I picked it up on a whim, wrongly assuming that it would be a cheap and fast thrill ride. Despite some questionable promotion tactics, the book deserves a place on the shelf of any action-loving reader who also desires a careful examination of an extremely compelling case of coming-of-age, isolation, and resignation of the human condition to surprising circumstances and irresistible powers.Orson Scott Card convincingly delivers this case via Ender Wiggin, a genius child chosen and manipulated to become the saviour of a futuristic Earth from insectlike aliens. Even as Ender completes his military training at a dizzying rate, he grows to realize that not only is humanity's fate at stake, but so is his personal sanity, ethos, and connections to those he holds dear. The book's ideas about human condition could have been presented in a non-Sci-Fi setting, but the fact that it is lends itself well to the almost inhuman nature of Ender's tragic ordeal. Through Ender's interactions with the memorable cast of supporting characters, the reader can immediately connect with and address the universal emotions people undergo - from stress, fatigue and shame, to excellence, camraderie and unconditional love. I read this story in about a day; unfortunately some of the only recreational fiction I have enjoyed in about a year. I can truthfully say that I believe it was a good move to purchase this book. It is intensely moving, and while may not necessarily be life-changing for its readers, Ender's Game is great enough that it can be.

Summary: One of the best books of all time
Review: Ender's Game is one of the best books of all time, in my opinion. You need not be a sci-fi fan to love it, though it helps. It's a story of a young boy's genius, and the government's need for it, set against the prospect of impending alien invasion. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
