Summary: A book for the mind.
Review: Ender's Game is definently a book to get you thinking! Not only is it the BEST book I have ever read, but it is also the BEST book that all of my friends have read. I strongly suggest that you check this book out. Another great thing about this book is that if you become attached like I did, OSC continued writing more books that fit in with the Ender series so that you aren't just left hanging. Also, if this book wasnt that great would I have taken the time and effort to fill out this review?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Out 'a Sight!
Review: This book was GREAT! I would defanantly recomend this book to anyone who likes sci-fi and or action books. If they were going to make this book into a movie Syskel and Ebert would give it 'Two thumbs way way up!' This book is about a boy named Andrew 'Ender' Wiggin who gets sent off to a battle school in space. He is a genious and skips a whole bunch of grades. Ender gets into many fights with the older kids in the school because they think that he is showing them up. Ender ends up killing one of the kids that he fights with. Now all of the older boys leave him alone. He finishes battle school with flying colors. He skips pre-command school and goes straight to command school. Will he pass command school? What will happen to him if does? Read Enders Game by Orson Scott Card to find out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No book holds a candle to ENDER'S GAME
Review: Ender's Game is the best book ever written. Case closed. It is the greatest story of all time and will never be bettered. I cannot express in words the greatness of this writing. It should be a law that in order to become an English teacher, you must read this book, it is that good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perhaps the greatest science fiction novel ever written
Review: Certainly Card's best work, from an author noted for his exceptional ability to breath life into his characters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not Just Sci-Fi, Amazing Style, Too!
Review: Card isn't just an amazing science fiction novelist, his writing style draws the reader in, and I must say, made me turn off the TV! Card's uncanny ability to write about a character's perception of fact and knowledge rather than an author's "truth"--knowledge given to the reader as fact--further compliments his concentration on power, manipulation and control. And all this set upon a plot strong enough to stand on its own as one of the best sci-fi novels ever!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enders Game was so cool
Review: I thought that this book was very good. The thing that I like the best is the unexpected twist at the end. I would say this is the best book that i ever read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ender¿s Game: Possibly the Best Book Ever Written?
Review: Ender's Game was written by Orson Scott Card in 1977. Since I was born, I have never read such a compelling, gripping, and intense story such as this one. Ender's Game is truly a masterpiece; it completely blows away any competition it might have had since its publication. I would absolutely, positively, without a doubt, recommend this book to every single person on this planet, and perhaps beyond.

Ender Wiggin, the main character of Ender's Game, is one of the most developed characters to ever be portrayed in all of literature. The reader encounters immense amounts of information regarding him. However, it is never in the form of direct statements of fact. Instead, Card reveals Ender through his various actions and dialogues. For example, at the beginning of the book, Ender is being physically tormented by another kid named Bernard. Ender waits patiently for Bernard to punch him once more. Then, Ender is able to catch Bernard's punch and throw him to the opposite wall. Instead of Card explaining how intelligent and patient Ender is, Card shows these qualities solely through Ender's actions. This alone suggests that Orson Scott Card is an outstanding writer. However, as one continues to read Ender's Game, Card's skill as an author is clearly evident by the beautiful construction, as well as the story line, of the novel.

The science-fiction aspect of this novel serves only as the setting. Ender's Game really has little to do with science-fiction, aliens, and other planets. Instead, it is a passionate tale of strength and weakness, courage and fear, love and hatred, and ignorance and knowledge. Ender is a tool which Card masterfully uses in order to convey these intense emotions. In addition, Card expertly creates feelings of suspense, anticipation, and trepidation. All of these emotions combine to produce one of the best books ever written.

As one reads Ender's Game, he or she will become completely absorbed in it. The book will become impossible to put down, and the reader will devour pages by the hundreds. Time will seem to stop for the reader, and he or she will become so engrossed in the novel that finishing it will become a top priority in the reader's life.

Ender's Game is certainly one of the best books ever written. I would adamantly urge everyone to read it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!
Review: My friend, on discovering that I had not yet read it, grabbed a copy of Ender's Game, shoved it in my hand, and said, "Read it. Now." Well, I did - and I was instantly converted. Before I was through, I'd wound my way through the sequels (which, though they frequently fail to live up to the original, are still well worth a read).

All in all, Ender's Game more than lived up to my friend's strong recommendation and I have added this Hugo and Nebula Award winner to that short list of books I give to friends with complete confidence they'll love it as much as I did. I particularly like the fact that I can give it to a 12 year-old boy or a 30-something woman and still feel this confidence. It's a rare book that has such broad appeal.

Perhaps the strongest comment I can make in favour of this novel is that, after finishing it, I was saddened because I'd used up all the time I had to spend with Ender and his compatriots. The sequels helped, to be sure, but the characters are somehow more genuine to me in this work than the later ones.

I recommend this book without reservation.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: LotF
Review: This is a really well written book which can really challenge a person's judgement and convey the truth about human nature to its reader. I recommend this book to any reader who likes a challenge.
