Summary: Finally, a book worth reading.
Review: Ender's Game takes place in a time after the world has been attacked by buggers (aliens) two times. As a result, the governments of the world stop fighting amongst each other and join together in the name of mankind. The governments of the world begin a search for the brilliant military leader that mankind needs. Several training schools are set up and the world leaders begin putting kids through the vigorous training. The government, after many years of searching, thinks that they have finally found the boy they need. This boy, named Ender, goes through the training necessary to become the leader mankind needs him to be. Card follows Ender through his physical and spiritual growth as the government tries to transform him into a military genius. This book is one of the few I have read and thoroughly enjoyed. The plot was magnificent and put together incredibly well. As I read this book, I felt like I was growing with Ender. I even had a good understanding of the other characters. Aside from the great plot and characters, I also learned the lessons that Card managed to teach through the book's themes. I learned that no matter what, you are never in complete control of your life. I also learned that peace is possible without war. I highly recommend this book, and I think that regular readers and non-readers alike can not only enjoy this book, but learn something from it. I give it five stars.

Summary: You HAVE To Read This Book!
Review: This is a powerful and memorable book to anyone and everyone who has ever had the pleasure of reading it. In fact, the entire series is basically a collection of my all time favorite books. The story of a little outcast boy with great intelligence who grows up so fast will make a lasting impression on you. The rest of the series in just as unforgettable, and goes into more in depth conversations with the struggles of human ethics, keeping the sci-fi thrill. I recommend these books to anyone interested in a learning experience and perhaps even enlightenment.

Summary: Best Book I've Ever Read!
Review: One of the best books I've ever read. With Ender being the smallest and the rejected one of the family. With his sadistic brother and his loving sister, he is chosen to be one of the few to be shipped off to battle school to fight an alien race. Very good. Lots of moral dillema's and plot twists!

Summary: A Great Sci-fi book
Review: I don't like sci-fi books, I'm more of a fantasy person, but I loved this book. You really get to know Ender, and get very attached to the characters. The review before this stated that Thirds are super intelligent humans. This is not true. Thirds are the third child in a family.

Summary: Without a doubt, the epitome of contemporary SF
Review: Card places himself among the ranks of Heinlein, Tolkein, and Herbert with this amazing work and its sequels. It was recommended to me by my seventh-grade algebra teacher, and I am forever grateful to him. It is the best book I have ever read (along with the other three sequels). Never have I read a book of equal caliber. If you are looking for a book with endearing, remarkably real characters, pick this up now.

Summary: Ender's Game
Review: This book, Ender's Game, is a very different book. This book is a little different that the books I'm used to read, but I still thought it was very good. Aliens that they call Buggers have almost wiped out the human species. TWICE! now they are expecting a third. Now the government is making a kind of superhumans. They are smarter ans stronger than the regular human. they are called Thirds. Ender, Andrew Wiggins, is a third. He gets picked on at school all the time. In this book you will go through his emotions of Ender going through the traing he has to undergo for the next invasion.

Summary: The best book I've ever read.
Review: Ender's Game is the most powerfully written book I've ever had the pleasure to read. I picked this book up years ago, and couldn't put it down. I am one of those people who "can never read a book twice". But, at this date I have read Enders Game so many times I've lost count. Orson Scott Card has the ability to let you "see" what is happening. I can envision the battle station and all the other areas Ender has to visit. I felt empathy for the characters, especially Ender. The trials and tribulations this young child went through nearly broke my heart. And yet, at the same time I admired him for his bravery and strength of mind. This is the one book I make all of my friends read. And every single person who has done so, begs for the rest of the books in the series. Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide and Children of the Mind continue the story of this tortured young man. All are memorable books.

Summary: A science fiction masterpiece
Review: Ender's Game is a sci-fi classic of staggering depth, and with it Orson Scott Card establishes himself as a writer to be mentioned in the same breath as Asimov, Clarke, Dick, and Gibson. Ender's Game flings the reader headlong into an Earth reeling from two alien attacks. To prevent defeat in a third, the fleet takes the smartest children of Earth to be trained as fighters and commanders. Of all these children, Ender Wiggin is the smartest. The leaders of the fleet are convinced he is the one who can lead humanity to victory. But before he can do that, Ender must survive his training, where jealous soldiers conspire against him and his teachers put him through tests more rigorous than anyone has ever faced before. Card's portrayal of Ender's struggle against his peers, his superiors, and ultimately the aliens shows the tension of human interaction under the pressure of impending war. Ender presents one of the deepest, most impelling characters ever to hit the pages of a sci-fi novel; the reader feels his pain and his pleasure as he makes his way through a world not many could endure. This book is an essential addition to any complete sci-fi library, or any library at all.

Summary: Ender's Game: an intense gaze into the future of humanity.
Review: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is the well-told story of a young boy named Ender Wiggin and a struggle that rages ,within his conscience, and throughout the galaxy. In the future, humanity has been twice attacked by a vicious alien race known as the "Buggers." Fearing a third invasion, military leaders desperately search for a military leader. Believing six-year-old Ender to be that brave leader, they launch him off to a "Battle School" space station to train him in the art of war. Ender's will and endurance are put to the test, and though his strife never seems to end, neither does his strength. With this creative story, Card shows us that he not only has the ability to convey mind-bending concepts in a way that makes them seem second nature, he also has a unique understanding of the human spirit... especially the young human.
