Summary: Ender's Game
Review: Hi people do you like action movies like Resident Evil and Star Wars? If you do you should read Ender's Game. The book is about a kid named Ender who gets send to the military. He and the other people in the military have to save human life by fighting against aliens. Ender is a 10 year old kid. The book is about a kid named Ender and one day when he was coming home a military commander comes to see if Ender wants to join the military if he would like to kill some alien scum. When he joins the military to save human life with other people a lot of those kids would hate him cause the commander would say that he is the best and better than them. P> This is a good book because the author describes the characters. The book has action in it. The book is about 300 hundred pages. When you read this book you would want to keep on reading it. Even though the book has a lot of action it has a lot of talking so you now what's going on in the book. I recommended this book to people who like action and science fiction books. It is because a war is going on and the war takes place in space.

Summary: INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE
Review: I DO NOT agree with the publisher regarding the recommended age for this book. There is language in it (e.g., bastard, pisshead) that is highly inappropriate for 9 to 12 year olds. This was originally an adult book that was re-released with a new kid-friendly cover. Regardless of how interesting the story might be, I would not purchase it for my child.

Summary: Is this a book or a dream?
Review: My 8th grade English teacher began reading this in class as soon as school started. I loved it from beginning to end After the 4th chapter I checked it out and it was amazing!
The plot blew me away and Ender helped me understand myself better! It shocks me at his age how he is doing so well. I love to read fantasy and sci-fi and this book is over the edge with the way it describes the world of children today cause I know the way Ender feels with Bonzo and Stilson. Over all the best book I ever had read.

Summary: Amazing, Formative, Influential
Review: I think just about everything that could be said has been said about this book. It was one of the key books I read during my formative middle school years, and has stuck with me. Ender and I shared a paranoia based on adverse conditions, and I've loved the little guy ever since.
Great book, excellent plotting, very witty (if sometimes in a school-boyish way) chapter openings, and characters you will probably care about in ways that few other books have ever made you feel.
I recommend all of the other books in the first quartet. The second quartet, so far, exhibits decreasing quality with each book. Though everyone who liked _Ender's Game_ should read _Ender's Shadow_.

Summary: This is the best book I have ever read in my entire life!!!
Review: I think this book it the best book in the world, and I'm not just saying that. I personly enjoy science fiction books and fantasy books. Although it is an anormous book, it is well worth the late hours on my bed reading and reading and reading.
I love it because it is action pacted, has a great story line, and best of all, I can relate to the main character. This book takes place hundreds of years from know. It's about a younge boy that goes in a revolving battle station in the Earth's gravitational pull. In this battle station, instructers teach other younge boys and girls how to be fighter pilots for the wars in the future. Everything seams to go acourding to plans when a new batch of kids come. In that batch, there's a kid who breaks all the rules and rises up against the intructers. They were going to send him back when they found out he was a genis. After much tormoil and cunfusion for the younge boy, he made it to the big leages. All he has to do is pass a test, a test thats he has been training for. A test that he didn't know he was training for. This test is a videogame, or is it more . . .

Summary: Great Read
Review: I flew threw this book. I just happened to come accross this book and I am glad I did. Unlike most books this stayts with you and has you thinking about it well after you have put it down. There could of been better character development in some instances, but the main characters for the most part were well developed. The story is grand in scope, but stayed very personall which I liked. And the Science Fiction stayed light on the science so even those who are not big sci-fi fans can enjoy this book.

Summary: Ender's Game
Review: This book is without a doubt a great read. Card tells the life of an amazing young boy living in a time where the world is at war with another species. Ender, genius of the geniuses, finds himself suddenly confronted with an option to stay or leave his home, family, and planet and battle the alien species which threatens the future of Earth. Little did he know what he was actually getting into..
This story keeps its action and surprises you after every page throughout the entire book, never slowing down, and never getting boring. Once you pick it up, you'll only put it down if your house is on fire! You will care for Ender, feel his pain, cry for him, fear for him, and much more. This story literally takes you into the life of this fragile character.

Summary: A True Classic
Review: Orson Scott Card has written many fine novels, but this will always be by far my favorite. Many other reviewers go into depth about its content: a young boy, Ender Wiggin, trains at Battle School to defeat the aliens and save humanity. This bare-bones summary cannot possibly convey the multi-layered depth of this extraordinary tale. Many readers do not like sci-fi because they feel there is a lack of characterization, little grounding in reality, and an over-emphasis on unlikely technology. These criticisms are valid for a number of books in the genre, but do not hold true for Ender's Game. Ender's Game is not perfect. The age of the children, even though they are the smartest children on Earth, is still a bit unbelievable. Some say Card's prose is not flowery enough, although I find his style refreshing and particularly appropriate for a book with a high degree of military content. These small issues, however, are beside the point considering that in overall plot, originality, characterization, and themes, Card pulls together a story that is read over and over again because, quite simply, it appeals to almost everyone. You may not like sci-fi, you may not like the idea of small children fighting a war, but you will probably love this book, and you will love Ender Wiggin. His story is a classic of the genre, and a favorite in many readers' hearts.

Summary: It's okay, but how did it win the Hugo and Nebula Awards?
Review: It's probably impossible for me to know what I'd have thought of this book when it first came out, since I knew the "punchline" to the story going in. On the other hand, a truly great novel would have a lot going for it beyond the climactic revelation, and Ender's Game, well, doesn't. The crippling flaw to the story is that the characters (other than Ender himself) are absolutely flat as boards. None of them have any nuance or subtlety or distinction to them. Moreover, large chunks of the book (especially those relating to Ender's siblings and their machinations while he's away at school) are entirely redundant to the story as a whole. They could have been cut out completely and made the novel leaner and more focused. So what's good about the story? Essentially, it's a series of high-pressure puzzles presented to Ender as he flies through the ranks of the military (at ages 6-to-11!), and seeing how Ender reasons out how to deal with them (whether they're regularly scheduled combat exercises, or encounters with his antagonistic fellow students) is exciting and fun. The moral dilemmas which Ender must confront - being violent when he doesn't want to be, being a leader when he's not inclined to be - are real, though they suffer greatly from lack of depth or characterization in the world around him. Ender himself is the only character we really get to know. I never believed that he was a child - he almost never behaves like one - but that's not so bad, since it's his odyssey - not he himself - which is the focus of the book. But the potential of his character is largely unrealized, since he's generally forced into making particular choices, and we don't get to measure what sort of a person he is through his deeds, since those choices are taken away from him. In many ways, Ender's Game reads like it was written in the 1950s, an era of flat characters and straightforward plots, which is what this novel contains. It feels primitive next to its contemporaries from the mid-80s (never mind nuanced fiction from the 70s like that from Varley or Zelazny), especially in its no-frills writing style. At this point, I don't see what all the fuss was about; it's a light read, but not a very satisfying one.

Summary: A great story that happens to take place in outer space
Review: I started to read Speaker for the Dead before I realized that it was a sequel to Ender's Game. I liked the writing style so much that I went out and bought Ender's Game immediately. OSC has a way of telling the story from the point of view and feelings of Ender that is magical. I truly felt for Ender Wiggin and rooted for him the whole way. This was a wonderful story.
