Summary: Ender a saga for the mind of a youth
Review: Enders game is one where not all people can realy relate to ender. Most people don't know what it's like to live life expecting to be an outcast for life, and to think every one around you is there to twist you to there desire. This was a book that few people can actualy relate to. I been in enders shoes more then once, while other can only dream (or fear) whats it's like to life as ender few have actualy experenced most of what enders has gone though, like being so tired that your body actualy stops working, enders time at battle school i have been though more then once. To see every one around you trying to change you into something you don't want to become and then relizing by rebeling against it you only become more of what they are trying to make you become.

Summary: Perhaps the Greatest Piece of Literature Written in America
Review: I cannot stress this enough: This book is for anyone and everyone. I cannot stress that enough. Don't let the fact that it is science fiction (and high-concept sci-fi at that) disuade you. Don't let the fact that it looks pretty thick fool you. And don't let the fact that it is about kids make you pass it by. This book, since I first read it four years ago, has become my favorite book of all time. It is brilliantly written, superbly concieved, and possesses an ending that is one of the greatest surprises presented in any medium. This book is the work of a genius. A friend of mine summarized it in this way: Lord of the Flies in a controlled environment. Though that is not entirely accurate (there's a great deal more to the story), that's a start. Check it out (PLEASE!) and enjoy! You won't be sorry.

Summary: Wow!
Review: I recently moved from fantasy to sci-fi, and my friend recommended Ender's Game. In a word, wow. This book kept me reading for hours and hours. I think the best aspect of Card's writing is that he creates characters with personalities so deep that they create their own plot. I would highly recommend this book to...anyone! If you liked the book, I would definitely suggest Ray Bradbury, or you can go where I came from: Tolkien, Terry Brooks, Raymond E. Feist, and all those great fantasy writers. This is definitely a classic.

Summary: Holy ( ) this was good
Review: Having read Ender's Game a little over a year ago, I can still remember staying up until 3AM begging for "only a few more minutes! "

This is a true example of how science-fiction should be written. The entire plot fits together, although the main character (Ender) seemed suspiciously like an adult in a 6-year old's body. But anyone who questions ender is a fool. I've heard arguments that he is a brilliant tactician, yet gets beat up so it doesn't make sense. WRONG. A brilliant tactician doesn't need to be a built up mud-slugger. that's what grunts are for.

Easily in the Top 3 science fiction books with only Dune (of course, what else) and 2001: Space Odyssey above it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One for intelligent readers...
Review: Ender's game is a wonderful book for all ages. I Usually I stick to reading fantasy but my friend turned me on to Enders game. I cannot thank her enough. I read a lot of books, that includes a lot of trash. Finally I found a book that stands apart from most of the others. This book offers an indepth look into the human mind and emotions. I found this book utterly beautiful and imaginitive. A mix of horror and awareness that left me speechless. I recomend this book for sci-fi readers with intelegence.

Summary: New fan.
Review: When I picked up Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card I really didn't know what to expect. By the time I finished the first chapter I found my self hooked on the story. Card puts together an amazing cast, and weaves an addictive plot around them. When I read a book I look for at least one character the I feel for. With Ender, the main character, I found just that. From the first page to the last Card makes Ender more and more human, and all the while he puts him into almost inhuman situations. I actually found myself rooting him on aloud. Needless to say I got a few strange looks from people around me at the time. But that just showed me how easy a character Ender is to emphamize with. In the time since I got, and finished, Ender's Game I have already bought the other four books in the series. I honestly have never read a book that literally made me not want to put it down. I can't wait to read the rest.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book ever!
Review: If sci-fi is your genre then this should be the bible on your shelf. It is definetly one of Card's best books, it is the first and so far best in it's series. It was first recommended to me by a 16 year old named Mike. Now i read it (being only 11) and now i'm recommending it to everybody i know who has anything to do with sci-fi.

It starts out with an outcast kid whose name is Andrew Wiggen (ENDER) He has a brother named Peter and a sister named Valentine. Decades before a race of aliens (Buggers) has invaded the earth two times. The earth had had luck and some then some. Now they need to reassure themselves wioth the best commander to commandeer their fleet. To do this they set up "Battle School" it is training for kids to be turned into commanders. Ender (no doubt) is picked to go to battle school because of his extremely high potential. He gets there just like any kid would and beats the system. He obli... Wait i can't tell you what happnes, you need to read it. Then be sure to read every single sequal (Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind) and the recently published parralel novel (Ender's Shadow). A must read !

Summary: What? You havent read this yet?
Review: How can you consider yourself a fan of Science Fiction if you've never read Ender's Game? Actually... I only just read it a month ago- but boy am I ashamed of myself for having waited so long! I had to read it again a week ago since I couldn't believe I'd loved it so much, and when phrases like, "The best book I've ever read!" come to your mind- you'd better be pretty certain. It goes high on my list with Dune and very few others. It will enrapture you.

The story is simple. It is the future. The Earth has had a severe run-in with a race of hostile aliens we call the "Buggers". They have invaded our planet twice, nearly wiping us out if it weren't for some amazing luck. Now, decades later, the Earth prepares to retaliate against the Buggers- defeat them before a third invasion can be launched against us. We have a massive fleet, but need a leader. With that in mind, the military turns to children for salvation... filtering out the most brilliant strategic minds and molding them into commanders with what it takes to win the war. At age 6, Andrew Wiggen (ENDER) is their best hope. This is the story of his trials and training and SO much more.

Card does everything right in Ender's Game. As a 24 year-old, I couldn't recommend any book higher. If you are new to sci-fi, this will get you addicted. ............

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A true masterpiece
Review: "Ender's Game" blew me away. Mainly it was the characters that astounded me. Their very human feelings, their deep layers of emotion and many doubts, made them real people instead of a group of imagined characters sprung out of the head of the author. Once I started "Ender's Game" I could not put it down. I savored every word, loved every minute spent with my nose in it. This book is a true masterpiece.
