Summary: Great book!!!
Review: Ender's Game was recomended to me by my best friend who has read it many, many times. At first i decided that when i finished the book i was reading i would read it. In the mean time i read the first chapter on the net and decided i couldn't wait to read the rest. My friend lent me the book and i read it in the first day! It was Fantastic! This is not my usual type of reading but i loved it. The book has some deep issues raised in it and also is just good for a read. I recommend this book to anyone, young or old. I can't wait to read more of Osron Scott Card's work. Just read the first couple of chapters and you won't be able to put it down, It's INCREDIBLE!

Summary: Card's shimmering brilliance makes this book a winner.
Review: In the Sci-Fi world there is a ponderous amount of un-interesting writing, and most readers spend their time searching for those books that really mean something to the reader. And a review like this one can't ever be perfectly accurate because every person out there contains different opinions on likes and dislikes. Even though, this book meant so much to me that I was drawn to my computer to tell you what I think about it. Despite the fact that almost every sci-fi book jockey has already read Ender's Game, I still belive that my review will prove itself interesting to all audiences. Sometimes reading what you subconsciously fealt about a book can bring you to a state of realization concerning your own feelings. This is a book about a genius boy named Ender that is breed to help humans against a hostile alien race called the buggars in war. He is taken from his home to a training camp in space for the majority of his preparation. There he learns battle tactics for no gravity environment battle. Card does an excellent job of creating real battle tactics for this specific situation. I was amazed. Then Ender is sent to a different place to train for flight comat where he is put to the test. There are many factors that contribute to making this book enjoyable to the reader. Especially when you get past the obvious displays of Card's creativity like the plot, and the uniquely shaped charecters and cause and effect of the charecter relationships. The things that make this book really special are the fellings that it gives the reader. After all, a sci-fi story can have all the greatest aspects of a book, but will not be read and rembered if it isn't enjoyable to the reader. When I read this novel I truly felt many of the same emotions that Ender did. It wasn't strictly observe for me, it was participate. Why, you ask, is this book one of the few special ones that does this. Well I believe first because of the way he makes his charecters so realistic. Card shows how they feel by using his intelligence to write about the subconscious and conscious reactions to another charecter. He gives sensible, rational psychological sequences explaining the long and short term effects of an action. Second, Card knows how to create a story that will surely have the reader thinking of the dilemmas and situations of the hero in his/her off-time. This is partly because of his ability to get the reader to relate to Ender as he quests to save humans against the buggars, and also because the plot is interesting at any point in the book. Always leaving you somthing to think about as you put the book down. It also makes the reading experience more fun because of the suspense built up in the off-time. Lastly, Card's excellent vocabulay and smooth writing style in this book make it as easy as watching a movie. Fun for anybody.

Summary: Ender's Game actually deserves the accolades you see here..
Review: Ender's Game is the most powerful novel I have seen that deals effectively with the trials of genius in the modern world. This is a wonderful book for early readers who have not yet experienced a true science fiction novel. It will move young souls toward greatness. Another great novel with the same feeling is John Steakly's "Armor".

Summary: A Great Escape from Reality!
Review: Don't start reading this book if you have a lot of pressing duties in the next couple of days, because you won't be able to stop reading it... and after you finish reading you won't be able to stop thinking about it! It's a great escape from reality! Definitely one of the ten best books I've ever read...

Summary: Most Overrated Book Ever?
Review: Many people use words like exciting and great to describe this tripe, well, I can only think of one- DULL! What kind of crack are this book's supporters smoking, there isn't one exciting scene in the whole damn book. It's just a bunch of boring kids floating around and shooting at each other with stun guns for 300 pages. Get a grip, people, if this is the best book you've ever read, well, you haven't read almost any other book I've read. I had high expectations for this book after hearing such high praise for it, but my expectations weren't met in the least. I kept on waiting for it to get better, and it never did. Predictable, boring, maudlin, repitive, crap, all these, sure.

Summary: An Extremely Pleased Reader From California!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I know that all of the reviews for this book praise it, so I will tell you an unbiased review..... IT WAS GREAT!!!!! The entire book was like a great movie because I could picture it all in my head! I was 12 when I read it and I couldn't put it down! I read it in only a week! The entire book was a trie masterpiece but since I said that I would give you an unbiased review, I'll nitpick. The only bad part (which is not very bad at all) are three short, but sort-of gruesome parts where there are physical confrontations between two boys. But other than that it is the only book that I would actually read twice! (something that I thought would never happen) If you're trying to decide whether or not to buy this book, it's WELL worth the price!

Summary: DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE!!!
Review: Card has really out-done himself this time. Ender's Game is without a doubt one of the best books of all time, along with its sequel, Speaker For The Dead. On the surface this appears to be a novel about war, but if you look deeper you find it is a commentary on the human soul when faced with a challenge. Ender, a six-year-old boy, is an example of an innocent caught in the crossfire of a terrible war and forced to participate, forced to join one side or the other, and, as you will see, he finds a way to be on both sides in the end. It also shows the bond of friendship, and how it can hold up under the toughest of enviornments. If you haven't read this book you--- well, you deserve a straitjacket! Card is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, writer of all time. But definantly read this before the rest of the Quartet, otherwise you won't know what is going on. I wanted to give this twenty stars, but that wasn't an option.

Summary: Ender's Game is a classic.
Review: Ender's Game is a classic. The brilliancy with which this book was written continues to impress me time and time again. After the first couple pages, you fall in love with little Ender and are completely entangled in his life, his love, his committment, he genious. This book combines the hatred of war with perfect understanding and compassion, the struggle for acceptance with the limitations of leadership, the fear of discovering yourself with the knowledge of who you really are. I would highly recommend this book.
