Summary: so stinking much fun to read
Review: There are lots of books in the English language that you won't be able to put down once you start reading them. These books are a great gift to the reader. The first time I read EG, I picked it up in the school library before first period and skipped a whole day of classes to finish it. There aren't a lot of books that demand, once you've voraciously consumed them, to be immediately read again. EG is one of those books. Its value as entertainment is unsurpassed in the Science Fiction genre. It may not be SciFi's best entry (so far, for my money, that award goes to Hyperion), but it is certainly one of the most delicious. Somehow Scott Card manages to combine every boy's dream of zero gravity space play, the ultimate war game (where you can accurately shoot without harm), an epic science fiction tale, with the speculative religious/scientific ethical considerations that distinguish good SciFi from bad space opera. You will love this book. There was a time in my life when I recommended this book to strangers in the SciFi bookstore aisle. I would do so with such passion that they would, without exception, buy the book.Read this book and thank me later.

Summary: Not as good as I'd hoped
Review: I'm another one who kept hearing great things about 'Ender's Game', and when I saw the new posters with Jake Lloyd (Anakin in Star Wars) reading it, I decided to try it out. And of course, I was disappointed. It isn't a bad book - I put it down a few times, and discarded it in favour of a magazine or two, and even an entire other book, but I was compelled to read on, I suppose, because the story was so good. But that's where it ends. I found it very hard to visualise anything because Card uses no descriptive language at all; the book is one long string of 'he saids' and 'she saids' and 'they dids'. The entire book depends on action rather than exposition and it left me feeling no connection to the story, or even the characters. Because much as we root for Ender, we know he doesn't need us to - he always wins anyway, no matter how bad the odds, so there's little compulsion to read to the end of the book, once this rather boring pattern has established itself. Which is a shame, because I was rather enjoying it; there were some startlingly thought provoking, well written passages here and there and plenty of excitement (until it got too predictable) but not enough to make it a great book.

Summary: More Than Just Sci-Fi
Review: Ender's Game is almost a work of phychology, in the fact that it explore the subtle changes of Ender's mind as the teachers make decisions that affect him. It is a great book for parents and teachers alike because of the uncovering of a childs limits and his tolerances. It can be taken from many different veiwpoints. There is the child viewpoint where the child thinks its just a cool book, and there is the adult viewpoint where the adult sees how much these kids can take. I recommend this book to all, young and old, even if you hate science fiction.

Summary: I highly recommend it
Review: This is probably the best sci-fi book ever written, It has a great anount of suspence; I guarantee that you won't be able to put it down. Not only is it great for entretainment, but also, it has a lot of deeper issues. I highly recommend it. IT ROCKS

Summary: Card delivers a true science fiction masterpiece!
Review: Of all the science fiction books you'll ever read, none will have the impact that this book has. The characters Card is able to come up with, and the effectively realistic manner in which he presents their behaviors, is astounding! And the ending will leave you stunned! If you're in the mood for a good, nostaligic sci-fi read, pick up Ender's Game and see what classic science fiction is all about.

Summary: Best book ever!
Review: I've read Ender's Game many times over, and each time I found a new insight to the characters or to the plot. It's very well written and grabs your attention from the beginning and keeps it all the way until the end. The characters are developed, which make them interesting to watch them interact, and the storyline is great also.

Summary: Very interesting
Review: Intriguing idea, a bunch of child geniuses with potty mouths being trusted to save the world. Somehow it doesn't shock me. Anyway, great book. Ender is abused by the International Fleet because in order for him to save the world they have to give him not only the proper training but the proper attitude. He thinks he's a killer throughout the book, and he must deal with that while continuing to face the challenges the IF sets for him at the Battle School. Great story, good characters, theme-heavy, humorous, and with some good yet comprehensible sci-fi concepts, this book is one of the best.
