Rating:  Summary: Stimulator for the Brain Dead Review: At the request of a friend I purchased and read this book. Ender Wiggin is a great character that most people (who don't stare and drool while watching the cartoon network) can relate to in some way or another. I enjoyed it's "childish" point of view.
Rating:  Summary: The best Review: I thought this was the best book I have ever read. I felt as if I was Ender and every thing that happened I was Ender acting it out. I would really rate this book 11 but it didnt go that high!
Rating:  Summary: This book was great. Review: This book was well written. It reflected on future military training exercises through vigorous training of small children who were bred to be extremely intelligent. After reading this book, I immediatelyy read Speaker For The Dead and Xenocide. I unfortunately had to wait a few months for Children Of The Mind to come out. This was a year or so ago, when I was 12 years old.
Rating:  Summary: THE Book Review: When I first read this novel a year back I was blown away! I was only 13 years of age, and this is the book that made me enjoy reading. I was never an enthusiatic reader until I finished this book. Orson Scott Card with such interesting idea and detail. I felt I could really compare with Ender Wiggin, he became my role model. This book had so many fantastic things in it: a Teenage Space Army, Alien "Buggers", the Internet (which at the time was non-existant), Truly Portable Computers, Amazing Spaceships, *and* a Great Story. There is not enough I could say about this novel, other than: "Read it, you will not be disappointed".
Rating:  Summary: BEST SCI-FI EVER Review: Ender's Game is the best sci-fi book ever written, except for one minor detail... the ending!!! come on!!! the egg in the re-made game landish deal... just get rid of that and end it with his brother taking over the worl get ird of the sequels and thats it... enough said =)
Rating:  Summary: I'm not a sci-fi reader, but I loved this book anyway! Review: Before I begin, I need to say that I am NOT a sci-fi or fantasy reader. I'm a 46 year-old female with a voracious reading habit, but sci-fi is a genre I know nothing about. However, a "net" buddy recommended this book, so I decided to give it a try. With that said, I must proclaim my respect for Ender Wiggin and his creator Orson Scott Card. I was totally engrossed in the story of this brilliant little person (notice I didn't say child) who literally has the weight of the world forced upon his small shoulders. As many readers here did, I cheered Ender's successes and rooted for him throughout the story, knowing all along that he would triumph in the end. I was prepared for the triumph, but was surprised in the way it was delivered. I was also struck by Ender's obvious sympathy with earth's mortal enemy, the "buggers." This is a book for anyone who loves a good story, well-told, with thought-provoking characters and plot. I will recommend it to my friends....without reservation.
Rating:  Summary: It is a great book Review: I think this is a very good book. I am in the middle of the sequle and I am realy liking that one also.
Rating:  Summary: I wish I had read it before Review: I really wish I had read this book while I was being bullied in school. I recognized so many situations and so much of myself in this book. Especially the thinking part. I have always been critical of books that treat children as morons. Children often think just as intelligently as adults but they have less information. This book describes perfectly the ENTJ or INTJ personality of Keirsey's "Please Understand Me". If you feel at home with Ender, check that book out.
Rating:  Summary: Better then the average book Review: This book was pretty good. We were assigned to read it during English class, 'cause half the book takes place in my hometown (Greensboro, NC. I play softball at the place where Valentine and Peter went to school.) Anyway, I think it was very imiginative , and I espically liked the partabout the Giant's Drink. I found the end to be a little dissapointing, though, even though it gave rise to several sequals.
Rating:  Summary: "Ender's Game" worthy of praise Review: It's hard to imagine another six-year-old, in fact or fiction, with as much to worry about as Ender Wiggin. One day, he's dealing with worldly bullies. The next, he's preparing to deal with the alien variety. Where Orson Scott Card delivers the goods in "Ender's Game" is creating a believable setting and an extraordinary but believable character. Adding depth and realism to it all are the men responsible for training Ender and his force for the ultimate showdown with their attackers. The suspense kept me turning through the last page. To be sure, "Ender's Game" is a must-have on any serious science-fiction reader's bookshelf.
