Summary: One of the greatest Sci-Fi books of ALL TIME!!!
Review: Card delivers a magnificent work for any person who ever looked at the stars. Card manages to get inside Ender's mind, and the reader can imagine him- or herself in his positions. Anyone who likes drama, strategic warfare, or politics must read this book. Card is a master of the unknown and anything that humanity has dared to dream.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Good SF, but a little bit predictable.
Review: I bought Ender's Game because it keeps coming up on recommended SF lists. I was not disappointed. Maybe it's because I was not a gifted child (I.Q. only 137) that I found the children's language a little hard to swallow. Otherwise, I found the book to be utterly enjoyable. I could hardly put it down even though I guessed some of the plot twists. The ending was a pleasant suprise and I am looking foreward to reading "Speaker for the Dead". I think Ender Wiggen will be a little more believable in his twenties.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A surprise
Review: I have never been an avid reader of science-fiction. However, my friend gave me this book. Despite my hesitation, I reluctantly set out to read it. I finished it in 3 hours..I could not put it down. It is an extreme critique on society and the struggle of a young boy of extraordinary intellect trying to maintain his identity while forever being opposed by his peers. I have read it 5 times since and I gain more with each read. A true literary masterpiece.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must read for any SF fan
Review: I spent the first 23 years of my life believing reading was a waste of time. Then a friend let me borrow the Worthing Saga. It was a very interesting story, but this then led me to try reading ENDERS GAME. WOW, what a great tale. Card writes characters that you can't help but care about, and Ender Wiggin is definitely his very best!!

Since reading Enders Game I have slowly read as much of Card as I can find. His SF is excellent, and equally matched by his Fantasy series (The Alvin series is fantastic). Unfortunately OSC has recently moved more to the mainstream and is writing more mundane fiction.

My hope is that he expands on his Ender Series (anyone who read Children of the Mind will probably agree that it seems that the story needs to continue), and I am anxious to read the 5th part of the Alvin series. Card is a great writer, and I recommend him to anyone!!!

Summary: A fabulous and disturbing story! The best of the quartet!
Review: Ender's Game takes us to a future where humanity lives in fear of the alien "Bugs" that threaten humanity. The earth governemnt has turned to a new weapon, children. Kids begen their millitary training at as seven. Andrew "Ender" Wiggins is one of them. He is put through a series of grueling "games" pitting him against other children. If Ender loses the games, mankind may be eradicated, but if he loses, we may be the eradicators.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book ever written!
Review: This book was one of the very first science-fiction books I read, and it has stayed the best. My parents introduced it to me when I was young. Then I recommended it to my sister, and she read it and loved it. Many of our friends have now read it, and not one bad word has been said about it yet. The reason is that there is no negative word that could describe Ender's Game. It is THE BEST BOOK EVER!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest work of sci-fi ever written
Review: This book, being my favorite over favorites, has really changed the way I look at things. What I really gained is the realization that every concept has more than one possibility-may it be positive or not. All in all though, I insist that everyone should read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Of the Two Best Sci-Fi Books Ever!!!
Review: Ender's Game is a wonderful story. But, if the story was all there was to the book, the original short story would have won the Hugo and Nebula. No, the best part of this story is the thoughts and struggles of Ender Wiggin. As a "gifted" student myself, I completely sympathize with Ender. He is my favorite character, out of any novel, ever. This book actually brought tears to my eyes many times, one of the very few books to do so. If I had Ender's talent, I would also have his problems. I could not bear to fight so well, and hurt so many people. THIS BOOK IS FANTASTIC! The sequels _Speaker for the Dead_ et al, do not receive as many good reviews as _Ender's Game_. There is very little action in the other's in the series, but the philosophy is still there. I love all of Orson Scott Card, but none of his books compare, even slightly, to this series. The only Sci-fi book I like as much as _Ender's Game_ is _Robots of Dawn_ by Isaac Asimov.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: For me this inspired strong ,but mixed, feelings.
Review: On the one hand this book is a real pageturner. I really got involved with the story & cared about the characters. There were pages I read over & over & over again. On the other hand the book is a real pageturner. I really got trapped in these people's torturous lives. There were pages that made me want to throw this book over & over & over a cliff. I have recommended it, but I'd never recommend it to a younger reader.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best book I have ever read!!!!!!!
Review: I can't stop reading this book. I firat read this book in 7th grade and have read it at least twice a year since along with the other books in the series. Great stuff!!!!!
