Summary: One of the best EVER books
Review: Ender is a boy genius and a 'third' (a third child who is looked down apon, usually hated by peers and in most cases unwanted) at the time when the earth is being attacked by an alien race called the buggers. The buggers want to destroy the earth and almost did the last time they attacked. So Ender is pulled off to battle school to be trained to fight in the army against the buggers. Card describes everything in such detail that even though it's written in third person, you still feel like you're experiencing everything with Ender, feeling his feelings. Everything in battle school seems so real even though it's just a fantasy to us. Meanwhile, while Ender is at battle school, his brother and sister or working on a 'project' of their own. When you finish Ender's Game you woun't be able to wait to read the next book.

Summary: Absolutely a must read.
Review: This is the first Orson Scott Card book that I have read. Being a fan of scifi and seeing that this was the first book to win Both the Hugo and Nebula award I figured I would check it out. Well, what can I say...this book is definitely a page turner and the ending...well...let's just say that it was an absolutely great ending. After finishing the book it had me wanting to go straight out and buy the other books in the series.

Summary: The Supreme Sci-Fi Novel, rivals Dune
Review: Ender's Game is a masterwork. Not only does it explore the human mind, it tells an exciting story of war and politics. Ender is tricked into killing the Buggers, who turn out to be ramen instead of varlese (see Demosthene's definitions), leaving Ender with an immense amount of guilt, introducing the other works in this series. Read it, you won't regret it.

Summary: Great, great, great!
Review: This book is really a pleasure to read. The story is a great one and the characters are interesting and engaging. There is an urgency to the plot that captivates you from the start. What I like about this book the most is that none of the characters are oversimplified. In fact, the main characters, and in particular Ender, are all quite complicated and unpredictable.The reading is easy. I poured through this one in a couple of sittings, and if I did that then most of you can read this in a sitting. (slow reader here!) I recommend Ender's Game without reservation.

Summary: A Great Novel and a Fantastic Series
Review: Ender's Game... All that I really need to say. Why should I bother telling how well the chararacters work with the environments that Card puts them in. The main problems that I have with Sci-Fi is the believability factor. I could see this one happening in some form in Earth's future. (Well perhaps not but still- read this). The rest of the doesn't have the action that this one does but that doesn't matter at all.

Summary: Not an avid Sci-fi reader
Review: The science fiction aspect of this book is not what made it excellent for me. It's how Mr. Card seems to understand the human condition that made me keep flipping pages. He fleshes out the characters and lets you see the demons that plague these people. I'd recommend this book to anyone even if you aren't "into" science fiction. It's one of the most intriguing books I've read the past few years.

Summary: One Of The Best Science Fiction Books Written
Review: As someone who has read hundreds of Sci-Fi novels, I can say with certain authority that this is one of the greatest Science Fiction novels ever. Orson Scott Card crafts an elaborate scenario that seems like something that could actually happen in the future. The characters are well developed, and the book never gets dull or off track.

Summary: Nothing left to say.
Review: Since there are over 1300 reviews already, I'm sure there is nothing left to say. It took a while to find negative reviews, but most often they seem to say that the children in this book don't act like normal children and that this book is just simple minded. The children don't act like normal kids. But it only takes a moment to realize that none of them are normal kids. Each child is a genius. They were all selected to go to Battle School because of their intelligence. Most of them haven't seen their parents for years. I think that would make them act a little different. And then there's those people that say everything in this book is so obvious. They're missing something. Below the surface of this book there is a political struggle between current powers (The Hegemony, the Polemarch, and the Strategos). When the war with the Formics (or Buggers) ends, there will be no more need for world peace. The russian Polemarch sees this, and begins to prepare for world domination. Then there's Peter Wiggin, or Locke, who uses these struggles for his own purposes. But there is more to be found, if only you'll look. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Summary: a great read
Review: I first read this book when I was eight, and every few months or so I feel an insatiable urge to pick it up again and read it cover to cover. While it might not be believable for a planetary government to entrust their future in the hands of a child, it is very believable that a child would be a wise choice. An intelligent child who believes he is playing a game has no worries about failing; would not wince every time one of the little ships on his screen was destroyed. While the battle room itself is an impossibility, in that at some points, it is connected to the rotating Battle School and still retains its weightless qualities. But the descriptions of the battles themselves are intricate and ingenious, and are often what a child enjoys most about the book (I did!). Ender Wiggin is extraordinarily talented, ruthless at times, but sensitive as well. The human qualities he displays make him a believable character, whether some aspects of the plot are believable or not. This is an amazing book for people of all ages.
