03/22/2005 | Easy? EASY? How could hays say it is easy? No book is easy, no book is hard. It depends on how far you reach into it. You don't breeze through it on a cold winter day that doesn't even fit with the complexity of Ender's Game.

05/02/2003 | I'm a Trekkie, and I don't usually read stuff other than Star Trek or Star Wars books. I ended up reading this a couple of years ago when my English teacher said I would like it, and, needless to say, it was AWESOME!! This is the only book I have bought that is not Star Trek or Star Wars.
By the way, STAR TREK: NEW FRONTIER IS BETTER THAN ALL THE TELEVISION SHOWS COMBINED (I got my name from it). PETER DAVID IS THE BEST STAR TREK WRITER EVER. And why does SYWA9480RG call the Ender's Game books a trilogy if there are 5 books...?

08/24/2002 | One of my favorite books of all time. This book is so well-crafted and clever and interesting, that you can't read just one chapter in a sitting, you have to read at least three or four.

04/17/2002 | Simply the best ever. My favorite novel of all time. An excellent story with intense characters. Everyone should read this book. Unfortunately, I couldn't really get into the sequel books as much, but I still think it's cool that Orson Scott Card lives in the city next to me (I live in the Winston-Salem/Kernersville area of NC; he lives in Greensboro, NC).

10/25/2001 | I read this book several years ago, and I was completely absorbed in it. I thought it was wonderfully written. I loved ender's plight through his military training, outsmarting the bullies and all. Now that I think about it, it almost has a realistic situation that you could relate to, being a new kid in school or something. Anyway, it's hard to imagine all these children are under the age of 10 (and ender is only six!) but I suppose anything's possible. As a girl at 15 when I read this (7 yrs ago), I had trouble with his sister's character, though she had a good heart she was the weakest of the three children. I wished Card could've had her outsmart the evil brother, or escape him somehow, at least.

12/18/2000 | This is an excellent book that deserves a rating better than good but not quite outstanding. The story of Ender and his training to battle the aliens is very captivating, with the war room scenes being very creative. I enjoyed the tale of a young outsider being trained to be a leader and the way the story progresses to an interesting ending is very good. Contains good charecterization and Card is an excellent storyteller, just didn't have the magic for me that makes me want to go back and reread it, which is my basis for a book or series being outstanding.

08/16/2000 | Card's finest and first. I suggest it for anyone. They should teach it in schools in sixth grade.

08/08/2000 | I have read Ender's Game at least half-a-dozen times. It is a great book, from many aspects: morality, society, challenges of leadership, friendship, and so on. It also has great imagery! (Just wait until you get to the battle rooms, you'll know what I mean!). The second book in the trilogy ("Speaker for the Dead"; there are now 5 books in the trilogy, with the 6th coming out soon) is equally excellent. If you like Ender's Game, you'll also love "Ender's Shadow." And, you'll also love going to www.philoticweb.net.

06/07/2000 | This was the best book I'd ever read when I read it; now that I've read Speaker and the rest, it's the second best, but it's the most compelling story I've read, and unequaled by any except in the series.

05/29/2000 | Wow did this book grab me! I purchased it after reading all of the glowing reviews on RateItAll and was not disappointed. The whole idea of whether leaders are born or created has always been fascinating to me, and Orson Scott Card does a very believable job of demonstrating how it might very well be a combination of both. The mind games which the military played with Ender as a child in order to prepare him for his role in history were captivating. The idea of isolating someone from every peer group which he has, teaching him again and again that nobody will ever be there to rescue him when the going gets rough, and knowing exactly the moments when he has had too much (and all before the subject turns 12!)... this is a riveting book. Ender's Shadow is next for me...

03/10/2000 | This is one of my favorite books ever!!! It has many wonderful comments of human interactions, beliefs, and much much more. The rest of the series is great as well. I couldn't stop reading it when I picked it up. Don't start it when you have work to get done!!!

03/10/2000 | One of the best science fiction books, though the ending is weak. I read the shorter version in Analog and knew Orson was destined to be a great writer. Read the rest of the series and his other books.

11/04/1999 | I enjoyed this whole trilogy. Recently found out that Mr. Card is a devout Mormon, which makes me think his books might be full of propaganda. Luckily I don't know enough about religion to notice, and he was subtle enough to weave it into the story without it feeling preachy.
