With my Apologies...

bypooswife Aug 11, 2000

Pros Human nature abounds and gives much to discussion and analysis
Cons The story is so rich it can't just be explained.
Recommended it? Yes

My Dear Friends at Epinions,

I'm afraid I have a problem. It's a writer's block of sorts, but not a total one. I have been crippled in my attempts to review one book in particular; Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card. It's less a "block" than it is an abject fear, and like all irrational... Read full review »

Ups and Downs

43 Helpfuls 44 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A marvelously engineered construction
Cons Some parts are pasted-on papier-mache
Recommended it? Yes

Reading Ender's Game was, for me, a wonderful and yet disturbing experience. Rarely, if ever, has a book (or a series, or an author) elicited such strong positive and negative reactions from me at the same time.

This book won the two biggest sci-fi awards, the Hugo and the Nebula, and... Read full review »

A Different Perspective

Pros A great read as well as being thought-provoking
Cons Copies tend to get "lost" by those who borrow and read them
Recommended it? Yes

I have never met anyone who has read "Ender's Game" and hasn't liked it. For some it is just another novel with an interesting storyline, fascinating characters and original ideas. For others, reading "Ender's Game" can be a life changing experience. I know that sounds like rhetoric or... Read full review »

I finally read "Ender's Game"...more than 20 years after I got it.

Pros Great sci-fi themes, exciting, engaging story, suspense, action, "big ideas."
Cons Stilted language, some violent scenes...
Recommended it? Yes

At some point in the mid-1980's, my parents gave me the book "Ender's Game." I liked Star Wars and Star Trek, and had already read dozens of Star Wars and Star Trek books, but after I read about twenty pages and realized it was a science fiction book, I put it aside. More than twenty years later, I... Read full review »

A Great Psychological Study, Sci-Fi Novel, and Educational Read.

bygrimjack2 May 7, 2001
30 Helpfuls 31 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros The book has won many awards, all of them deservedly so.
Cons I would have liked the children to be about 5 years older.
Recommended it? Yes

This book became one of my favorite books of all time before I had reached page 100! I only read it about 23 years after it was first published, and imagine that this could have been a major influence on the way I think if I had only read it two decades ago. The story is great, and the characters... Read full review »

Pros Great book
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

Endors game is my all time favorite book. I usually dont read very often, but this book kept me reading until I was finished. The plot was great, and the writing was good. This science fiction kept me on my toes the entire time.

Endor is a small kid around 6 or 7 who was taken by the... Read full review »

In the distant future, mankind has been driven to the brink of oblivion after reaching out to the stars and discovering that we are not alone. A horrifying race of creatures known only as the buggers started competing for the same worlds that humans had established themselves on. Nothing seemed... Read full review »

How did they get Ender from Andrew?

byncasian Mar 24, 2004
24 Helpfuls 25 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Battle School and the battle descriptions
Cons 5 year olds talking like they're 50
Recommended it? Yes

I read this book back in college (instead of reading my pharmacology text, haha) thanks to a recommendation by an ex-boyfriend. Quite honestly, I didn't think I'd like it since our personalities clashed, but to my surprise, I loved it so much, I bought my own copy so I could avoid asking him to... Read full review »

Pros amazing characters, believable but almost supernatural.
Cons kinda violent, deeply emotional-past crying
Recommended it? Yes

This is the best book I have ever read. It's about this military genius that calls himself Ender (short for Andrew) who is put in "Battle School" to defend the human race against buggers, bug-like organisms with one mind in the bunch of thousands. However, all people know that he will be the... Read full review »

Pros Easy, fun read. Great for people who haven't read a lot of sci-fi.
Cons None.
Recommended it? Yes

Wow, there are a lot of reviews on Ender's Game. The only reason I'm going to add mine to the mix is because I think my perspective is a little different than a lot of the other people here. I'm not going to give a plot synopsis, because you can log on to Amazon or Barnes and Nobles and get a... Read full review »
