Ender's Game (Fantastic Audio)

Rating:
Summary: Good SF book but not (merely) because of the SF.
Review: I read Ender's Game years ago, when it first came out. The author is a highly sensitive and perceptive man. As a childhood victim of abuse by bullies, I can understand how the highly intelligent kids are also highly sensitive. Dare I say those who disliked the book may not have acquired the sentivities necessary to appreciate the subtle horrors of childhood. Perhaps the recent high-school shootings should bring to light this hitherto unmentioned aspect of civilization. Children are underestimated in their intelligence and experiential scope. If we only recognized the highly bright and empathic kids in our world, and promoted them to be our leaders instead of harrassing them for being nerds, the world would be a better place. For those who feel underappreciated, don't. The teachers all said I was stupid in school and gave me bad grades. I joined Mensa a few years ago. Ender's Game is a vision of a future where the great potential of our young children is recognized, albeit unfortunately exploited due to the necessity of the alien war.

Summary: My ALL-TIME Favorite Book!
Review: I read Ender's Game in about 2 sittings, and then I read it again in one. This book has the best plot of books I have ever read. The problem I found with some of Card's books are that you either love it or you comepletely hate it. So that's why the stars seem unbalanced.

Summary: Highest RATING !
Review: Saw this classic book recommended in another review (lucky for me!), picked it up and couldn't put it down! Very imaginative, easy to read, believable, moving. Looking forward to reading sequels and also new Ender's Shadow! Buy this one!

Summary: WOW!!!!
Review: If you like Sci-Fi you should read this book. If you don't like Sci-Fi you should read this book. I have read hundreds of books in my lifetime and I have not found one as utterly riveting and well written as this one. Ender is a young boy who has been with special permission from the Government to save the world. If you have ever had a bout with feeling like you were alone, this book will make you feel more loved than you could immagine.

Summary: Fabulous Development
Review: Of all the quality Science Fiction authors out there, Orson Scott Card belongs at the very top. Ender's Game is a perfect example of classic science fiction story development. I first read Ender's Game as a short story in a compilation of award winning stories. This one stood so far above the rest I was not surprised to find it had been written into a novel when I looked. This is a perfect example of the way science fiction has been written since the 40's, and Card does it without peer.

Summary: A Great book--whether you enjoy Sci-Fi or not
Review: One persisting quote I keep reading about Ender's Game is that even if you are not a sci-fi reader you will still enjoy this book, and I have to echo that statement yet again. I have passed by Card's books over and over again never once thinking that one day not only would I read one, but feel compelled to write a review of it HERE. Suffice it to say that unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you will most likely identify with Ender in a BIG way. We've all felt like a out-cast at SOME time, right? Well you find yourself wondering how you would react in the same situations as Ender does, and before you know it, you have developed almost real feelings for this character. Orson Scott Card has written a novel that is not only VERY entertaining, but captures the very essence of what growing up on the 'outside' is really like--despite the circumstances of being set in the future on a Battle Station orbiting the Earth. Ender's Game is clearly a SUPERIOR book, and deserves the Hugo and Nebula Awards. I am almost ashamed to admit that I haven't read the rest of the books in the Quartet because I only recently finished reading 'Game' but rest assured, Mr. Card has earned my loyalty in a BIG way. This book is just plain good. Do yourself a favor, at the very least borrow it from the library, after finishing it, I bet you will end up purchasing a copy of your own, as well as the rest of the series. Its one of those books you just HAVE to own a copy of. Having a 'loaner' just doesn't cut it. Gotta have your OWN. Have I sufficiently made this out to be the best novel of all time, yet? Well it ISN'T, but it IS GREAT--now go and GET IT!
