Summary: "Harry Potter" for paranoid adults?!?!?!?
Review: Talk about strange coincidences--right before I read this book I read (and loved) "Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone". And for awhile I had to convince myself that it wasn't just a REALLY dark version of the same story. Two ingenue, whizbang kids; two sets of imperious adult authority figures; two misfits among misfits. If I'd only watched "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" immediately before reading "Harry Potter" I'd truly be scared by the similarities.But all this seems like really nebulous coincidence. "Ender's Game", on its own, is a fun, if often unsettling, read--one of those books it's easy imagining being turned into a movie (and subsequently ruined on celluloid--do I need to say "Battlefield Earth" or is everyone on the same page?). Card's action style is occasionally obtuse--at times I wasn't exactly sure what was going on in a particular battle--but the interpersonal stuff is dead on. And that is what matters, when it's SF and not battle-heavy Fantasy. (Yes, I already know there are LOTS of fantasy novels that feature very nice character development--I've read and loved many of them. George RR Martin, Robert Jordan, RA Salvatore, of course Tolkien...) I also felt the story ended a little abruptly, although I suppose this added to the "surprise" ending aspect of the book. I guess I should admire Card for not going the route of other writers, and take 150+ pages to wind a story down. This was actually a VERY quick read for me. Books of this length usually take me 3-4 weeks of casual reading; I finished this one in 4 days. I hate those '70s paperback review cliches, but I'll use them anyway--it is a page-turner, and I couldn't put it down (Damn, I know I'll hate myself in the morning for that....). It helps to have some interest in hard SF and/or military writing (or computer games, for that matter). If you do, you'll probably have a nice week reading "Ender's Game".

Summary: Worth Reading
Review: This typical sci-fi, fantasy novel by Card has unique qualities that only this book has; however, those qualities are sometimes negative. Ender's Game tells a story just through dialogue between supporting characters; the events support the conversations. As much as it is unique and interesting, the words are hard to understand, as the vocabulary is not exactly orthodox. The plot of the story is well-balanced; every event is reasonable. This story ends with a slight twist, as Ender Wiggin finds out what he really is doing.

Summary: from a chandler student
Review: These book was great in many reasons, it made me think, it had drama, and it also was very interesting to read. I also think these book is good because it is very good in giving you great description. But love the parts about the battles and what adults can do to childern. The way that Graff did to Ender adn those other boys were great. These is what made these book so good.

Summary: Perfect kids bore me
Review: Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this book. (It was a nice afternoon's read.) But Ender is just too nearly perfect: smart, kick-butt, lovable, conscientious, etc., etc. I still think heroes need a flaw or two to make them really interesting. I predicted the big surprise very early -- that was a bit disappointing. The ending was also a bit schmaltzy. In any event, it is still worth reading -- a good return on the relatively small investment of time.

Summary: Story is too farfetched
Review: Ender's game was, in my opinion a cheesy and ridiculous book. A lot of the book made no sense and left questions unanswered. The book did not even really explain what Ender's appearance was, which left people wondering. Those who like books that are really farfetched and wierd- this book is for you, but those who enjoy books that have a lot of description especially of the people, you may not like this book as much. The battles in this book were really interesting and fun to read about, and it has a lot of ACTION. I suppose this may be another reason why people like Ender's Game so much. I recommend this book to some, but be careful, those of you who hate sience fiction.

Summary: One of the great works of Science Fiction
Review: When I started and finished Enders Game, I was certain that Orson Scott Card had written one of the greatest science fiction series since Isaac Asimov's "Foundation Trilogy". I was, however, disappointed by the following books in the series. Enders Game, though, stands on its own as a masterpiece in the genre. It has deservedly won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, and has been one of the most popular science fiction books of all times since its publication. Enders Game is probably my favorite Card book (standing close to Songmaster, The Worthing Saga, and Seventh Son). I highly recommend to adult readers and teens (and younger... I first read the book when I was 12). I hope you enjoy.

Summary: A Work of Art
Review: Ender's Game, one of Orson Scott Card's most magnificent works, should be read by anyone interested in sci-fi. Even those not entrenched in science fiction would thoroughly enjoy this book. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Among the 10 best science fiction novels of the 20th century
Review: As classic Hero's Journey, "Ender's Game" is one of the ten best science fiction stories of the twentieth century. It uncannily predicted the Internet and personal computers many years ahead of time. The story is both tense and sparse yet gripping from almost the first page. Card is a writer of immense power and this seemingly grim story of a boy conceived and brought up to be a leader and fighting machine is a bright tapestry about determination, loyalty, and bravery. This story is the beginning of the "Ender" saga, but very different from the other books in the series. I have read it many times and never get tired of it.
