Summary: A literary masterpiece
Review: Full of friendship, hate, suspense and suprise enders game turns unenthusiastic readers into a lovers of literature. A unique story of a child twisted and manipulated into war general to face intergalactic enemies. I recomend it to all ages above 12 do to vulgar and profane attributes of the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Most Excellant
Review: There is a reason that this book has 1000 plus positive reviews. It is simply a good read. Anyone who has experienced childhood and puberty can identify with this novel. It evokes memories of struggles and conquests while stirring emotions by posing questions of ethics and moral dilemma. It does all this without weighing down the story, in fact it helps increase the tension that is only released at the very last moment in a smashing conclusion. There is something special for everyone that reads this novel. Buy it, read it, share it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An instant favorite
Review: When some people browse through books, they see the sci-fi logo and are imediately put off by it, I know some of my friends did just that, but that was a big mistake. Sure Ender's Game takes place in a science fiction world yet, there is much more to it. Card touches many themes in this book such as manipulation, isolation and human psychology. Card's introduction also helps with the feeling of the book by writing some excerpts from letters he has received. Anyone who is similar to Ender can quickly understand what he was going through the book and can make many personal connections. Whether you're a sci-fi fan or not, I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Science fiction at its finest
Review: For me, most science fiction takes itself way too seriously. I don't like books that require a glossary. Ender's Game isn't about the wonderful inventions the author imagines will happen, or the alien blasting battles. Both inventions and battles are present, and plentiful, but the story is really just about a boy.

Andrew Wiggins, or Ender, as he calls himself, is a genius in a family of geniuses. There is a great war coming, and the world government needs a genius to lead the battle. He is chosen and pulled from school to be enrolled in Battle School, with the expectations of the entire world on his shoulders. He is six.

The story follows Ender through training as he learns how to fight, then teaches his classmates how to think. Ender is a caring, empathetic child, but before he even reaches Battle School he is separated from his peers and forced to fight to defend himself. The battle scenes are well written, but the most fascinating part is watching Ender grow into a leader, while understanding that what he wants most is to be accepted as part of the group.

Without giving away anything, the resolution of the story is inspired, and I look forward to reading the sequel, Speaker for the Dead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply Amazing.
Review: This is the best book I have ever read. And the sequels just make it better. The way Card makes all the different sublots is amazing. I just wish that he made more sequels.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Loved This Book!
Review: "Ender's Game" really amazed me! I generally do not like sci-fi books, but everyone in my class was reading and loving "Ender's Game" so I gave it a try. It swept me off my feet! Andrew Wiggin (Ender) is exceptionally bright. He is a genius, in fact. He has a brother, Peter, and a sister, Valentine. One day, Ender gets a visitor from Battle School, a school where they train young boys and girls to become battle geniuses to fight the "buggers" (aliens) who have invadaded Earth twice already. He decides to go off to Battle School, where he plays war games with "armies" in the Battle Room. The teachers try hard to make Ender the perfect commander- they make sure he never depends on anyone, they try hard to kill his senses of pity and compassion. When reading this book, I fuond it hard to beliieve that the children in it were only six or eight- battle matured and hardened them so much. "Ender's Game" was GREAT. Read it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best Sci-Fi Books ever written!
Review: This book will appeal to everyone. Young readers will enjoy the young genius Ender and the older readers will also enjoy the young genius as well as the ethical questions raised. This is the story of Ender a "third",who is the earth's last hope to defeat the Buggers. He is sent battle school where he is quickly made an outcast. Rising above the traps laid for him,Ender becomes the finest student in the whole school. When he finally shows the leaders that he is in no danger of crashing,they graduate him and send him to Command School where he meets up with his friends. What will happen? Buy the book and find out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing Book
Review: This book captures the human race at a very true angle. It shows human manipulation, and how we love power and superiorority. This book shows a simple rule of human nature, what we don't know or understand, we are afraid, and we destroy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best books ever!
Review: Nowhere will you find a better book (possibly excluding the later books in the series). The character development andcomplexity of this novel are a wonderful change from the normal, run of the mill science-fiction novels. If you are a sci-fi fan, you will love this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful
