This novel is excellent. What a fantastic story...however it is the characterization that makes it truly exceptional, there are many characters to both love and hate. Truly a classic that should be read by all, even if you don't think sci-fi is your thing, I think young adults who enjoy the dystopian future theme would very much enjoy this.

If I fail my exams this week, I blame this book. Ah Ender's Game, how you have sat on my bookshelf for over a year before I got to you. You have been so nicely received by the sci-fi community so why did I put you off? BECAUSE I WAS STUPID, THAT IS WHY. My stupidity aside, I hope you guys will still consider this 5-star review to be credible and valid. I'll list off the pros and cons to this novel and you can decide. Pros: An adorable main character. Ender (Andrew) Wiggins was a breath of fresh air from the strong heroine of YA literature. Being a 6 year old at the beginning of the novel, I was completely caught off guard by his maturity and how sneaky he was. The tactics used in the Game. The reason the Hunger Games was interessting to me were soley due to the tactics Katniss used to stay alive, Well, guess what? Ender Wiggins just pretty much kick this Katniss chick's ass. Ender almost reminded me of Alexander the Great or Napoleon and I LOVED IT. Now, I shall move on to the cons: The lack of romance. OMG WHO AM I SUPPOSE TO SHIP NOW? NO DARK, MYSTERIOUS BOY WHO THE MAIN CHARACTER CAN FEEL SEXUALLY FRUSTRATED FOR. Haha, just kidding. I hate crap like that. The lack of romanctic development is one of the best thing about this novel. I find romance takes away from such a masterpiece. Just to be clear, there are no cons to this book. I am just a fool who never listen to others' opinions and it often comes back to bite me in the rear. Joke's on me, I suppose.

A classic sci-fi novel. In a future world where Earth has gone to war twice against alien invaders, Ender Wiggin is a 'third', a third child in a two child world. He is also a genius. At age 6 he is taken off-planet to a training post where he will be groomed to be the future battle commandor for the next attack wave against the aliens. The training comes in the form of zero gravity, close combat battles, to virtualreality flight battle simulations. The games are beyond fascinating. Ender is a superb character and the ending of this book really blew my mind. What an excellent twist!!!

I received this book as a gift but then wondered how in the world did it go unnoticed for so long! Amazingly believable futuristic settings from the great American science fiction author published in apparently two different times, the second one being the one we read. Modern and contemporary battleship of moral and ethical issues intertwined in an exhilarating story line so entrenched in human condition, a must read. I think it should be incorporated in school itineraries like J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye.

Enders Game written by Orson Scott card was a fantastic book and will intrigue all readers looking for a sci-fi, action, thriller that will keep them asking for more. You will be emersed into a gripping story of courage, bravery and perseverance. Overall a fantastic book I give it a 5\5

Orson Scott Card's classic SF novel came highly recommended to me (by my cousin and my brother) and the book did not disappoint. While I felt the outcome to the war with the aliens was predictable, the final twist (sorry, not going to spoil it for you) was unexpected and easily opened the door for further Ender adventures, which of course, there are several already. What I really liked was the "Clockwork Orange"-like approach to training the young Ender to become the greatest military genius / strategist the world has ever known. Young Ender Wiggin goes through a labyrinth of "games", some viscious, some intellectual, in creating a warrior capable to defend the Earth from the "evil" alien invaders. And along the way, the boy soldier realizes how little he wants to be the world's saviour and also how little choice he has in the matter. Very interesting, even for an adult even though the book was clearly written for a YA audience. Great SF nonetheless.

Earth was left ravaged and on the verge of extinction from an alien invasion. In an attempt to try and prevent this from happening again, Earths united governments send their best and brightest to an orbiting platform, military school for genius children. It is here Ender Wiggin is sent; this book follows his training and adventures on the way to become the savior?? Who knows, you will have to read it. Orson Scott Card has a definite gift for writing children in extreme circumstances. This is a brilliant and masterful tour de force! This is an amazing book that stays with you long after you have finished reading it. I find myself re-reading this book above all others, just for the joy of it. Ender, Bean, Alai, Hot Soup, Petra, Bonzo Madrid, all characters you wont forget. Couple important notes if you plan to pick this up. DO NOT ask anyone about this book until you finish it (you will know why when you do), also this is the perfect book for anyone looking to try out sci-fi. If you don’t like this sci-fi, the genre might not be for you. SUCK IT ENDER!!!! - Bean

If you like REAL science fiction this book is for you. This book is a classic written by a genius and creates a world like no other for you to explore. The world the story takes place in is believable and interesting really leaving a lot of room for imagination. This book does have some mature theams but not much however I would say the ideal age range would be 14 and up to fully appreciate the book. Also you would not enjoy the book as it was intended to be enjoyed if you think star-trek is real science fiction.
