Rating:  Summary: Hard to decide which is best:Hyperion or Ender's Game Review: Incredible book that is Orson Scott Card's best!!!! I have never met anyone that can read the first 25 pages and put the book down! Be prepared to stay up all night!
Rating:  Summary: Intriguing, exciting tale of a boy's struggle with destiny Review: Showing great promise, Ender begins his education in warfare at an early age, and struggles through an endless barrage of 'games' until, years later, he is ready for his final test. Orson Scott Card's writing shows his great ability at characterization. You are welded to the character throughout the book. When Ender suffers a drawback, you feel the sting. When he triumphs, you feel the glory! A great read.
Rating:  Summary: on of the best times I've had reading a book ever Review: the book Enders game is very well written. It shows the basic principle of human will to survive. It also peers into the window of alien contact. What would we really do if we found aliens in the galaxy? This book is really a good one on the part of Mr. Card. This book is also a great read for almost any kind reader. It appeales to the sci-fi reader, the pioneer book reader, the fantasy reader, and a whole slew of other readers. IF you like stories about the human condidion, this is the book and series for you!!!
Rating:  Summary: ender's game Review: Ender's game is the best book i ever read. how terrific! characters, stories, narration ...Scott Card managed in throw us on a totally new type of science-fiction.Waooooh!!!!!
Rating:  Summary: If there is one book in Sci-Fi to read try this one Review: I read this book nearly 5 years ago and have still found it one of the most classic sci-fi ever written. I guess to really appreciate the book, instead of the cheap thrills as many sci-fi now are, one has to look a bit beyond the surface. The part, to me which I found the most profound was not the sci-fi atmosphere and "aliens" but rather the portrayal of a young boy named Ender, becoming what he hated the most. This story is not just a tale of a genius boy fighting aliens, but is a story that captivates what many people today will or have experienced; that sometimes what we hate the most, we sometimes become. Well... anything more would spoil it. If there is one book in Sci-Fi to read try this one, I'm sure you won't be disappointed and hey, it's only a couple bucks (well... unless you're in a middle school reading this as a requirement, what a bummer... =p )
Rating:  Summary: 90% of the readers give it 9/10 score. So what can I say? Review: If you browse through all readers commentary, you will find that 9 out of 10 will give this book a score of 9/10. For the rest 10% who disliked this book, I can only say "Allright, we agree to disagree about this book rating. But for this case, I said that following the majority is not a bad idea". My personal opinions is, this is a great book of sci-fi , a masterpiece of Mr. Card, and I believe that it will become classic (like "Dunes" and "Star Wars", for instance).
Rating:  Summary: PURE ENTERTAINMENT--Just read the damn book and like it. Review: It's been several years since I read this book, but I still remember tearing through it ferociously and longing for more at the end. I've recommended Ender's Game to quite a few people looking for a good read, and most of those who read it loved it, few merely enjoyed it, but none hated it. Reading through some of the ultra-negative critiques listed here (ratings of 1-3), I've sniffed a peculiar scent of indignation symptomic of "the alternative syndrom." I'm sorry it's so difficult for them to understand that what Card wrote was just, fun, imaginative, and entertaining science FICTION. For what it is, Ender's Game is among the best.
Rating:  Summary: A Great Book Review: I loved reading this book and I was not 12 years old at the time. I think the key is to stop taking yourself so seriously. As I was reading over the reviews of others, I was particularly intrigued by the fact that every person who didn't like it had a problem with Ender being 6 years old. If Card was writing from the eyes of a child he did his job. When we are children we don't feel infantile; that is only the adults feelings being projected on to us. And when we grow older and become what society calls elderly, we will look back on those who are 20, 30 and 40 as if they are infantile. Those who didn't like the book probably have a hard time seeing children as having their own free will and individual thought process also. I am sorry if that was a dig at anyone but I feel defensive when people tell me that one of my most favorite books shouldn't be read by anyone over 18. Ender's Game is far from his best. I do think that the other books are stronger but Ender's Game introduced me to Card and I will always love the book.
Rating:  Summary: The best of all his Ender sequal. Review: I think Ender's Game is one of the best Si-Fi book I've ever read. In fact it was my very first one. I can feel his emotions as I read. A VERY intense book. I loved it.
Rating:  Summary: need any one say more Review: just read everything below this review and you probably still will not realize how good enders game as a book and card as a wrighter are.
