Summary: Ender's Game
Review: Ender's Game is a book that can be read every year and each time find new meaning. The story focuses on a young boy named Andrew (Ender) through out his training to become a military leader in the war against the alien buggers. For years the government has been trying to create the perfect military leader. Ender's brother, Peter, and sister, Valentine, were both thought to be that commander, but Peter was too aggressive, and Valentine too passive. Ender is considered the worlds only hope of winning the upcoming war. Two men discussing Ender and the progress he has been making precede each chapter. They decide to manipulate Ender's surrounding in order to mold him into the military leader they want him to be. When Ender becomes skilled enough to be a commander, he made to believe that he only is practicing an attack when in reality he is leading an army against the real buggers. Ender realizes that the only way to beat what he thinks is a game is to attack the bugger's planet and kill billions of innocent buggers. When he is told that the program was in fact a real attack and he just won the war, Ender feels guilty for the death of billions. This book is recommended for a science fiction reader of any age. Full of memorable characters and a lot of action, Ender's Game leaves the readers asking themselves this question: is the manipulation of one life worth the lives of many?

Summary: The Best
Review: I read Ender's Game last year and can say with all honesty that it is a book you will not want to put down. I didn't, all through that school day and into the early hours of the morning...with school the next day.I am a fan of science-fiction and a voracious reader, so when I heard about this story it was natural that I would read it. However, I can see how this book will appeal to more than sci-fi fans because the story here, while taking place aboard and orbiting school where children are trained as commanders for an upcoming war against an alien race, is a human story. It is not littered with technical jargon or futuristic weapons, nor weighed down by descriptions of a future world. No, the story is a human one, about a child sent away at six-years-old. About the experiances of this child, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, and the others at Battle School. The children, though brilliant, have the same thoughts and impulses that normal kids do. The pace is slow enough to take the events to heart, and quick enough that the years of Ender's childhool fly by. "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one."

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game (Tor, 1985) Orson Scott Card says in his preface to Ender's Game that one of the main criticisms with the book people have is that gifted kids just don't act and talk like Ender and his battle school mates. To which Card usually responds with something like "they're just smart enough not to talk that way around adults." Been there, done that. He's right. The main criticism of the book dispensed with, Ender's Game focuses on young Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, a genetically-engineered genius recruited by the army at the age of six as a potential battle commander in a war against another race of beings from far off in the galaxy. But, as with most good science fiction, the actual science fiction parts of the book are tangential to the main thrust of the book at best; take out the stuff we can't do in modern-day society and put Ender and pals in a present-day prep school, and the human drama at the book's core remains credible. This is a necessity in any novel written in any genre, and Card carries it off with grace and dexterity. The book's only real failing is that some of the minor characters (a number of Ender's schoolmates with small, but key, roles throughout his life) could have been better developed. But what is there is good; unlike most underdeveloped characters, Card's aren't there solely to advance a specific political or philosophical point of view; think of this particular set of underdeveloped characters as paler than usual rather than cardboard cutouts. They also don't get introduced with the words "kill me" already branded into their foreheads a la Stephen King or Joe Lansdale. It just would've been nice to see more of them, though that probably would have required a change in narrative perspective. Other than that, everything works here. The book is eminently readable, the characters are believable, the plot flows along. I didn't find myself with the same obsessive devotion to it as many of the book's fans have, but it certainly put me in the mood to continue on with the series, and that can never be a bad thing. Highly recommended. ****

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read.
Review: I read this novel about 5 years ago and it is still in my Top 10 of best fiction. I read "Ender's Game" in one night. I could not put it down! Yes, it's "sci-fi" but - more than that - it is an intense character study of a boy under stress we cannot imagine. However, Mr. Card puts us in the heart and soul of Ender Wiggin, we experience his ordeal with him, and when it's all over the reader is left gasping for air. In my opinion, the ending of this book is one of the best ever conceived in the history of fiction.

Summary: Ender's Game Review
Review: Ender's Game is a very good book. I enjoyed reading it. The plot is far fetched, but that's alright because it's a sci-fi book. I thought Ender was a realistic character. He was a very interesting character. The book isn't very hard to read and about 300 pages long. I would recomend this book to anyone who likes sci-fi and some people who don't like it.

Summary: An Amazing Book
Review: Enders Game is probly the best book I have ever read. The book is filled with action feeling and a great plot. The main character of this book Ender Wiggens is a great. He is a genious, little kid, yet more powerful then someone twice his size. The book has lots of amazing characters. My favorit character was Alai and Graff. All the caracters add a differnt part to the book and with out them the book would not be complete. Even though I did not like Peter, with out him there would be no major confflict. So i recomend this book to every one no matter what your age is you will love this book!

Summary: Review for school
Review: I read this book for a project for school. At first I thought I wasn't going to like it, but as i read more and more I found myself becoming engrossed in the book. We had two weeks to finish it, but I had it done in two days. The book had a unique plot and great character development. I found it easy to picture myself right next to Ender, experiencing what he was going through. Some people found it hard to believe that a six year-old would talk the way Ender did, but they forget that he is smarter than the average child that age. Overall, it was a great book, I highly reccomend it, and I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series.
