Summary: Fantastic read, not only for sci-fi fans but for everyone
Review: Let me say off the top that I am not a science fiction aficianado. The last sci-fi book I read was "Dune", and that was 25 years ago (and I read only halfway through that one, to boot). But this is a great story on a purely human level. Ender, the third child in the Wiggin family (which makes him a societal outcast right at the start due to population control laws), just might be the one with the right temperment and intelligence to someday command the fleet that will rid the universe of the feared race known as the Buggers. Ender is taken from his family, trained and, some could argue, psychologically abused and exploited at a special battle school. He is tested up to and beyond any expected limits. Meanwhile, back home, his abusive brother Peter and beloved sister Valentine assert political influence over the "net" (keep in mind this book was written in 1977, well before the proliferation of the internet as we know it today). Will young Ender be the one to make it through to the end when all others have failed?This book grabbed me and didn't let me go until the very end. I detected a strong spiritual element to this book, with a surprising theme of redemption and forgiveness in the final chapter. There are so many levels to "Ender's Game" that I could write a whole book about the book itself, but all I can do is advise all who read this review to beg, borrow, or buy a copy right away and be amazed at its sheer brilliance.

Summary: what is all the fuss about?
Review: After so many friends raved about this book, I was very disappointed when I finally read it. THe premise is silly, the characters so comic-bookish as to be unbelievble, and the science is questionable. Maybe I am geting fed up with science fiction, but I still believe that one of the so-called classics should be much much better. Oh well.

Summary: Ender's Game
Review: An alien race has just attacked earth twice, and nearly destroyed the earth. Now to prevent the 'Buggers" from destroying us the government has taken the smartest children into space to train them to be commanders of the International Fleet (IF). A child named Andrew "Ender" Wiggen is the brightest kid in the battle school and also the youngest soldier in his army. When Ender makes it to command school he is to be trained to be a commander by completing all of the games he plays. But Ender is smart enough to know something is wrong. Read this book to find out what is wrong and what happens to Ender. This is a fast paced, exhilarating novel. It was an enjoyable, thrilling, edge of your seat read. I like Orson Scott Card's books a lot and I hope to read the rest of the series. Some other books in the series are: Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind, Ender's Shadow and Shadow of the Hegemon.

Summary: Creative and interesting
Review: In the usual genre of good Sci-Fi, this book has some twists and thought-provoking content. The main character being Very young, this story will appeal more to young-adult readers. However, I rate it as only "above average" for two main reasons. First, I found the story to be captivating and well-paced; but upon further thought about chapters I'd just read, there were numerous inconsistencies and significant holes in the plot. It was frustrating to have to continuously think up justifications for the actions of characters or existence of apparent flaws of nature that the author should have explained himself. Secondly, along the same lines, it is often enjoyable to have an author with a new perspective on a subject. But, Orson Scott Card, being a Mormon from Utah, should have realized that he needed to at least make an effort to research the subjects of military training and evolution before writing about them. If possible, one should read the Introduction of this book before deciding to purchase it.

Summary: A Good Pre-Requisite
Review: I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed it a lot. I had heard a lot of good things about it from various people and I had read a few other books by Card that I had liked a lot, too. So I gave it a try. I'm a big reader, I can usually finish a book in one or two sittings if I put my mind to it, and I did this w/Ender's Game. I was thourougly confused @ the begining, but I kept on reading through it. Actually, to tell you the truth, I was really confused at the end too, But, dutiful reader that I am, I turned right back around and read the book again. And it made a lot more sense to me. Of course, I wanted to see what happened to Ender, so as fast as I could, I rushed out and bought 'Speaker for the Dead'. And let me tell you - 'Speaker for the Dead' was an amazing book. But if I had not read 'Ender's Game', I would not have enjoyed as much as I did. So here's my suggestion: if you're going to read 'Ender's Game', make plans to read 'Speaker for the Dead' as well. Not only does 'Ender's Game' makes 'Speaker for the Dead' a much better book, the reverse is true as well. Together, they really show off Card's genius. After finishing the latter, I really want to go back and read 'Ender's Game' again. And I'm sure that I'll enjoy it even more the third time around.

Summary: A damned good book
Review: This is by far one of the best books I've read, it may not have quotes you will remember the rest of your life, but it is still good. For those who are thinking of buying this product, it's about a young boy named Ender going into a fighting academy in space, and him finding his deepest emotions, and greatest fears. An excellent plot and a damn good book.

Summary: The best book I've ever read!
Review: Even though I am thirteen I loved this book! My Dad is like the ultimate science fiction freak and he knows a good book when he picks one up. He is also the one that recommended it to me so I said ok i'll give it a try. Once I started I couldn't put it down! So this is a great book for almost any age.

Summary: Children really are smarter than you'd expect
Review: This book was an excellent read. It tells the tale of Andrew Wiggin and his remarkable ability as a tactical genius. Troubled with his own situation of always being the smallest and most picked on child, Andrew succeeds in all his ventures, whether it kills someone or not. The book strikes one as being poorly written and while it's obviously not the best written book, it's the story that speaks volumes. I definitely recommend this book and its subsequent sequels.
