Rating:  Summary: Ender's Game Review: I thought Ender's Game was by far the best book I have read in my life. It's a book about Ender Wiggen a government made super genius that is sent to space to go to battle school to train for the war against the buggers. In battle school he learns many lessons in life and knows alot more then he did before. After being transferred from army to army higher and higher in rank he is the leader of the best army The Dragon Army that was terminated in the past but has been revived by the General and is at Ender's command. The leaders of the Battle school thought that Ender needed to go to Command school to learn how to command an army in war. After using the simulator and learning how the buggers fight the leaders of Command school trick him into fighting the real war. When he leaves the simulator he is very confused at why everyone was so happy then after the General told him he was a hero in history. I think Orson Scott Card did an excellent job at writing the book he really is a great author I am going to continue to read his books and I hope this review was helpful to you.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Review: The novel Ender's Game is a great piece of work. The story begins with young boy named Andrew "Ender" Wigin being chosen by his country to go off to battle school where he will learn to become a military genius. While he is off at military school,his brother and sister are back at home building an alliance with each other. Ender goes through many different things throughout his times at the battle school. Ender goes through peer pressure, the fact of not being treated as an equal,and isolation from the world. The games are very wierd but in a great way. The games are based on real life things that could happen to Ender but in a different point of view. The practice battles are also very neat and some of the things Ender does during these practices are out of this world. This book is a must read for all science fiction fans.
Rating:  Summary: wow ! Review: this was a great book that i could not recomend enough to all readers young and old.
Rating:  Summary: A GREAT READ BOOK! Review: A GREAT READ BOOK ENDERS GAME Enders game is a well-read book; it is great and quick to read I believe that this was a great story. It takes place in a future world of earth were there technology is very advanced. Ender who is 6 years old at the time he is chosen to leave Earth by a group of people called the International Fleet. Ender who is to train for several years must be ready for a Third Invasion of an alien race. Called the Buggers. I would have liked to know myself what the buggers actually look like but please bear with the book, because this whole book is about using your imagination. Ender who is 6 years old wen the International Fleet take him he really had no choice but other than to stay at home with his brother Peter, who wants to kill him. His loving Sister, Valentine, and his parents. When Ender arrives at Battle School he first realizes this is a mistake. He goes to Battle-school for several years to train and become a military genus. Later he is so good at that, he advance to Command school and from here on everything is so exciting. Why I think this book was so good is because the often turns of events, and since you think the way if probably will turn out to be, well you better think twice because it turns out to be a twisting change of events in the story. I give this book Four out of five, because it could have done a little bit better at the end of the story.
Rating:  Summary: Great Characterization Makes Excellent Science Fiction Review: I've never been a big science fiction fan. I've found that most of the genre's authors substitute believable characters and good dialogue with "over the top" situations and techno-babble. Thus, I was a little apprehensive when I started Ender's Game. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised. Card avoids the trap that catches a good number of science fiction writers by not focusing the story on the aliens or even on the technology. In fact, those elements are very much in the book's background. Instead, he focuses the story on the character of Ender Wiggin. Centering the story on this point not only allows Card to dispense with the baggage that bogs down most science fiction, but also allows him to develop a fully realized character who conveys genuine emotions. By completely developing Ender's personality, Card makes a science fiction story that seems much more realistic and plausible than its setting would indicate. I wouldn't put this book in the "masterpiece" category, mainly because I thought the ending was a little too rushed. However, it is one of the best science fiction books I've ever read. It would make an excellent introduction to the genre for children or anyone who previously hasn't read science fiction.
Rating:  Summary: Ender's Game Review: Ender's Game is a very exciting book that will keep you wanting to read. The book has very interesting plots and sub-plots with character conflicts. Card uses a six-year boy as the main character. Andrew "Ender" Wiggin is the main character and the setting is set in a futuristic time period with the earth being overcrowed and families limited to two kids. Ender though was a third kid and was born to lead earth in the buggers third invasion. The problem is the buggers are coming faster than expected and Ender is only six-years old. Throughout the novel Ender is tested on every level and must compete against everyone. No one is on his side and as you read more and more people are try to defeat Ender. Card has Ender experience a lot of emotions throughout the book. card touched the reader and makes the reader feel what each character is feeling. Ender's Game is a great book and I recomend it to anyone who enjoys a good science-fiction novel.
Rating:  Summary: Phenomenal! Review: At first look Ender's Game seems to be about the minutia of a child's life: Ender who has some sort of device called a "Monitor" which allows adults to keep track of his every move & protect him. Then, we turn over the first page. Ender's Game isn't just a story about children forced to grow up at warp speed. It isn't just a story about one of these children who stood out among the pack. Ender's Game is a challenge to those who ignore or discredit the children's ideas because they are children. We begin to understand Ender, emphasize with ender -- and finally respect ender. Somewhere, during chapter two or three, I forgot that the subject of the story was a 7 year old boy -- and begin to think of him as a brilliant military strategist. Beyond this, though, the book raises some even more important philosophical questions about truth and reality (which are not explained until the final pages of the book -- I'll refrain from spoiling it). Read it slowly, carefully, and deliberately though -- because when you have finished the book, you will wish that you could somehow go back and read it again for the first time!
Rating:  Summary: GREAT READ! Review: This is one great book! I read it in 3 days and I am only 13! In my school it is consered a classic along side "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and " David Copperfield". (And i thought ALL classics were boring) I recomend this to absolutely everyone, even if you hate science fiction.
Rating:  Summary: Ender's life Review: Ender's Game is about a six-year old boy who is put through harsh trianing to become a general for the world. The world has been in a hundred year war with the buggers. The government controls how many kids a family can have. The childern are also monitored by the government from when they are born to when they are about six years old. Andrew "Ender" Wiggin has had his monitor in longer than both his sister and brother. This makes his brother jealous and he is very mean to Ender. The government takes Ender from his family and takes him to a space station where he begins his training to become a general. The government has a fleet of starships going to the buggers home planet and when they get there they need someone to lead them to a victory. Ender learns about the previous wars and is trained in simulated battles. The instructors of the school pushes him to the max. He becomes a genreal for the simulated wars at a very young age. As the training gets harder every day he becomes isolated from the world and his friends at the school. He finds him self fighting battles on a screen, but soon finds that he his really controling the fleet that is fighting the buggers. Ender does not know how long he can take this punishment for and he will soon find that it is almost over. This book was very inspiring. The harsh training that Ender goes through is really amazing. The author gives great detail and imagery. The author really gets into Ender's thoughts and this can be disturbing and inspiring at the same time. This book is a great book for anyone who wants to go into another world.
Rating:  Summary: A must read for any age Review: Ender's Game is a must-read for any reader. The book, which is set in the near future and follows the point of view of a child prodigy named Ender. We follow Ender from his departure from his family on Earth to watching him become the best soldier ever seen in Battle School, an academy for fellow child prodigies. The descriptions of the events that happen throughout the novel are both very intellectually insightful and emotionally moving. The ending of the novel is nothing less than amazing. Many people have come back to revisit Ender's Game because of Card's newest "Shadow" novels. If you've not yet read Ender's Game and are considering reading any of the Shadow boooks first, DON'T! Ender's Game is my far the best of any of these books, and reading Ender's Shadow (which is not as good of a novel) will ruin this book if you ever decide to read it. For those of you debating whether or not to purchase is book, I highly recommend doing so. I've found myself rereading it many times.
