Summary: Great action from start to finish
Review: I really enjoyed this book. This is the first Orson Scott Card book I have read. He does a good job of explaining Ender's (the main character) feeling and wishes. Card also did a good job explaining the battle games! I recommend this book to all SciFi readers. GREAT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Card's Masterpiece
Review: I first read Ender's Game when I was in Elementary school. I have read it many times since, the most recent being this Spring (2000). This book is a timeless classic and surprisingly appeals to a great range of ages.

Any gifted youngster can instantly bond and identify with Ender Wiggin, a lowly 'third', upon whom the fate of the human race may just depend. The story is inventive and charming. The internal dialogue for Ender, and the characterization of the supporting cast is impressive. Card manages to paint a captivating landscape of people and environs, while still moving along the plot at an impressive tack.

The final 'twist' that puts this book over the top does not necessarily ruin its enjoyment (otherwise I would never have read it more than once), so if someone's spoiled that for you, please don't let it stop you from reading this book, you'll be glad it didn't.

Personally, I think Card should have stopped with this book, as the remainder of the series is not as "meaty". I just couldn't get into them like I did E-Game. I hope the plans to turn this book into a movie come to fruition, as I would be first in line!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply Brilliant
Review: This book is easily 5 Stars. I read it in one sitting. The strength of Ender's Game is not in its Science but in its Fiction. Ender and the other children's characterization is dead on. I had no problem with Ender thinking the thoughts he did, or acting in the manner he did. His genius, his isolation, his pain all played well in this story. The entire idea of the games and the society of the battle room was very well done. I realize that this book is out-of-print, but I would make it a priority to secure a copy by whatever means possible. You will not be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best!
Review: It's simple the best book of all time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great sci-fi, great literature, philosophically meaty
Review: Ender's Game is a brilliant piece that works like great literature - for people who don't want to intellectualize, it's an exciting gripping rip-roaring easy-to-follow adventure story of a precocious child going to war in space. For the people who like to intellectualize and think about what they read, it is filled with much meat over which to wax philosophic, in regards to the ethics and morality of total warfare, what it means to defeat an opponent, what is sacrifice-able in terms of preserving a society (such as childhood innocence), what are the real ethical boundaries of preparing and training for war, etc. Like Shakespeare, the book is genius because anyone can enjoy it no matter how "deep" they wish to dig into it, or if they desire to dig into it at all. Card's prosody is also that rare kind that truly keeps one turning pages, riveted to the magnificent story.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An exciting novel that examines what "humanity" really means
Review: This is a scifi novel that crosses the borders of the genre - I'm so pleased that it is about to be released in the movie version, which means more readers will discover this terrific book. Ender is a character that readers will cheer for with all their heart and soul. I believe that this book has two endings. The first is a heartstopping, action-filled surprise. But the second, and final, ending is a message that asks the reader to rethink what is the importance of being a member of the human race. In recent years, this novel has been included in the reading curriculum of high schools. I applaud those teachers who are exposing their students to this novel that poses such important questions and ideas. I also believe that it is a must-read for any student who has been tagged as gifted. On another level, this is darned exciting reading!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: THE MOST BRILLIANT BOOK WRITTEN BY A MAN!
Review: Although it is hard to describe or criticise ENDER'S GAME, I can easily say that it changed my whole life. I read it and was overwhelmed by its genious. Each time I read it Ifound something new for myself. Reading it once is being unfair to the book. It deserves to be read over and over again and again so it may be digested. if you see ENDER'S GAME on a shelf don't let it stay there.
