Rating:  Summary: A great story! Review: Ender's Game is one of those good books that you won't stop reading. The description of the action in this book is wonderful. However, the characters get a little dull for their age.
Rating:  Summary: This is the outcome of Imagination. Review: I still believe after all the books I read of science fiction and fantasy that Enders Game is one of the all time greats. I work at a book store and can never keep this book in stock, which is an utterly refreshing problem. This is a fun, highly imaginative book that comes straight from the dreams we experience at night. With 6 of Cards books signed up to become movies, I am glad this will be the first one to be made. Do youself a favor, get this book and lose yourself in a wonderful world of childhood, innocence, and adventure. DONT PASS THIS BOOK UP!
Rating:  Summary: Amazing. Period. Review: Three years ago I was required to read this book upon entering Appalachian State University. I've never been an avid reader. However (without being redundant like the rest of these reviews), the book caused me to go and buy many more of card's books. Later on during my first year in college, Card came and talked to the interdisciplinary program I was in and I had lunch with him. At that time, I asked him how he knew that each reader would become Ender (the prolouge). He said because it is a "true" book. And those are true words.
Rating:  Summary: Oone of the best books I have ever read!!! Must read!! Review: This is undoubtably one of the BEST books I have ever read. It has a very good plot and a couple of unsuspecting twists. I just finished this book a week ago, and am currently reading Dragon Wing. If you liked Ender's Game, I highly recommend this book! And if you haven't read Ender's Game yet, read it!
Rating:  Summary: Hack juvenile military sci-fi Review: Oh dear, oh dear. Whay do people rave about this book? Trite ideas, religous propaganda (though less overt than some of his earlier books), poor characters and average writing all add up to a pathetic juvenile adventure story that falls far short of the great (Herbert) and even not-so-great (Heinlein) writers he is imitating. I have been told the later books are better, but after this I have no desire to find out. This is equalled in its awfulness only by L. Ron Hubbard, another religous nutcase. How did this guy win awards? I hear the sound of airport cash-tills ringing...
Rating:  Summary: great book Review: Really good book from the front page to the last page great reading..
Rating:  Summary: Unlike any book I ever read Review: If I had to put my finger on what makes Card such a good writer, it's that he can effortlessly put a picture in your mind simply by describing it with words. Somehow, Card has found a way to project every detail of scenery, sound, and emotion into your mind, making for a -totally- immersive novel. I have never experienced a novel that so completely provided all the details of action while it happens, but yet does it in such a way that it doesn't slow down the pace of the story. Unreal. The best book I have ever had the pleasure of reading; anyone who claims it was boring simply wasn't paying attention.
Rating:  Summary: Yup... Review: This is a very good novel (I feel more than a little redundant saying that). It's not my favourite work of Card's--I prefer the Homecoming series--but it is quite good. The few people who gave it negative reviews must be suffering from some sort of bizarre brain deficiency.
Rating:  Summary: hopeful that the movie will capsulize the expansive story Review: This book marked a turning point for me, after reading over 3000 titles in the last thirty or forty years. I identified so completely with Ender and was so taken by the psychological aspects of the story that I read all of the rest of everything I could find by Card. (He has inspired me to write my own fantasies.) The fact that this story is being made into a movie chilled me to the bone until I was pacified with the knowledge that Card was on the script writing team. If the movie holds even a small percentage of the character, suspense and human drama that Card so skillfully infused from cover to cover it will easily join the ranks of E.T., Star Wars and the other great episodes of human endeavor in the not-too-distant future. I recommend this book without reservation to readers of all ages, the only prerequisite would be that you must have time to finish the book once you pick it up, it is most assuredly that kind of read. May the movie be likewise.
Rating:  Summary: Fantastically unsurpassed. Brilliant. Review: Ender's Game is a must read. If you haven't, buy it. It is full of surprising resentment, and full of emotion. This is a book that you could read cover to cover a hundred times and still want to read it again. If you haven't already, I recommend you buy it. You won't regret it.
