Rating:  Summary: Great Book Review: This is a very good book. I had read it once as a child, and decided to read it again. I read it in one day, so obviously I enjoyed it. I have two qualms with it, though. I think a more in-depth description of the buggers should have been supplied, as well as more history of the bugger wars. And i also felt that the end was fairly anti-climactic. Aside from that, it was a great book.
Rating:  Summary: Enders Game Review: Readers, Enders game is the best book ive ever read. I usually dont read books, infact if I do read one I never finish it. This book I could'nt stop reading! It has so much thrill and spunk that its hard to put down! In other words, its a "turn the pg. thriller". If you have a friend or son/daughter who hates reading givem this as a gift! They'd love it!
Rating:  Summary: One of the greatest books ever! Review: This book is really good. I am not a big science fiction fan but I loved reading this book. It is suspenseful and there is a lot of action that won't keep you bored while reading. It is also a fairly easy reader and I recommend it to people ages 12 and up. You don't have to be big on sci-fi to read this book and love it!
Rating:  Summary: A sci-fi and literalry classic Review: Frist thing frist is that Ender's Game is a great LITERARY classic, and a great book for every kind of read as long as they are a bit brighter than the average person. I for one am find the reviews for this work that badly rate it very humoeous they have completely missed the boat on Card's work. The bad reviews for this book have 3 common flaws in them, the first is that to fully appricate this work one must have grown up being brigter than those around you, the second is that one must read not the story but the idea it delivers to one and also one must not take the ending aas the end but as the begining as Card intended. The hardest to explain here will be the the fact the story is centered not around the stroy but the feelings and thoughts of Ender as a person, the space travel and interstller warfare were merely a back drop to the feelings of an extremly intellagant person who desipite all that he knows is still a child. The idea of the pain Ender felt for each loss he inflicted, the idea of brothers and sisters and families adn how they don't alwasy get along, the idea that even an alien mind can be understood, the idea of adults underestimateing children, and most of all the prevaling human sprit that will bleed and sweat to save itself and than cry over the harm it has done. In this work Card has spoken to my sprit and my mind, I can feel Ender's pain and see the world through his eyes as well as my own, and I can also see my own life through Ender's eyes. If one reads the story only once and only reads the story it is a wated effort and one should haven't even bothered reading it in the frist place and should deffinately not put one's 2 cents into a review of a work one has never truely read.

Rating:  Summary: Ender's Game: the best sci-fi novel I have ever read Review: Ender's Game is by far the best novel I have ever read. Certainly not a light read. I have read it twice in the past two years, and enjoyed it very much both times. Ender is a wonderful character to identify with, expecially when he is a child. The rest of the series follows him as an adult, they are also very good books, by in my oppinion, do not come close to Ender's Game. I deffinantly recommend this book all science fiction fans.
Rating:  Summary: THE Book Review: This is THE book. Set in a futuristic setting and wild surroundings, the book not only copes with deep personal and human issues, but does it from the point of view of a child. Though it is an easy read, this in no way detracts from its value as a quality piece of literature. The story is summarized in many other reviews, so I won't do that here. However, I would encourage anyone reading this (especially those who may have read the book) to find the comments from Orson Scott Card (yes, he actually wrote in!) in the archives: September 7th. If you've read other reviews criticizing Card's style, this is a perfect place to see the reasoning behind it.
Rating:  Summary: Best Book Award Review: I thought this book had a great overall message, and it was very real to how things are now on Earth that so many people don't see. It also gets into the story quicker than most books I read. It's a book I would read again.
Rating:  Summary: The beginning of an incredible series Review: The Ender series are my most prized books. Ender's Game starts us out with a certain simplicity with a story that is thought-provoking yet infinitely readable. But Card does not stop there. He goes on, delving into deeper levels of possibilities and explores human nature, our social structures and interactions, our all-too-human fears and prejudices. Some will not understand the depths this series probes. They can be read casually and at face value but the reader who does so will miss Card's genius for exploring human nature. Taken at face value, it involves a war of humans against aliens but Card, in his series, challenges our concepts and our judgements of who is the alien, the outsider. A series of infinite hope and profound sadness.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful, best book I ever read Review: I read this book a few years ago and immedatly desided to by the hardcover version. The plot is suburb and the characters involving. I haven't read a lot of science fiction books but this was one that I really liked. A wonderful book that I would recomend to anyone who likes a good read. I would also recomend Ender's Shadow as a great novel that expands on your understanding of the world Ender lives in.
Rating:  Summary: Quintessential Sci-Fi... Review: Card creates a complete world... all any author can hope to do. In "Ender's Game" a real, flesh-and-blood cast of characters is developed, without any overexplanation or fluff. The plot winds it's way through the solar system, from North Carolina to orbit and beyond, all the while taking the reader along. I -loved- this book. So much about it makes me reread it again and again; the basis in modern science, the insightful world of a small boy in a man's environment, and the raw description of our world "n" years from now. Excellent stocking stuffer for anyone who watched "Star Trek" and liked it.
