Pros: Everything
Cons: Wish there was more of it
This book is one of the few that I've read that makes you wish that you were in the setting of it. I remember reading the battleroom sequences and thinking, "Damn, that would be so cool if I could be one of those kids.".
As you...

Pros: Must read Sci Fi
Cons: Wanting more when finished.
It's funny, but after reading this book I felt like I should have seen the plot twist coming. I really should have. It seemed to set itself up so obviously. A lot like the way I felt after I saw The Sixth Sense. Maybe that's what makes it such a great...

Pros: Action
Cons: Emotions
I am a junior at a San Diego high school. I drive a 1987 Corvette with 400+ Horsepower, and I have recently read Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. The thing I liked the most about this book was the amount of action that it had, I like action. It helped ...

Pros: excellent character development, interesting plot
Cons: predictable, young age of main characters difficult to believe
Ender's Game excels in several ways, but its greatest strength may be character development. Each of the characters has depth, especially Valentine and Peter. The author was also exceptionally forward thinking in predicting future use of computer chat...

Pros: Powerful, emotional, fast-paced
Cons: Some people just hate science-fiction (phillistines!)
I will say openly that there may never be a good movie version of "Ender's Game" ever. Despite being an amazing book that is dying to be made into a wonderful film (keep in mind please that I am a filmmaker, though a very literary one), it will...

Pros: riveting story, well written
Cons: starts out rather dry
I have always been one for science fiction stories. I love the space operas, the battles, and the near-magical technology. When I picked up Ender's Game for the first time (I've read it a few times!) I thought it would turn out to be the same sort of...

Pros: Realistic characters, realistic future, and an interest not limited to cliche sci-fi
Cons: You will not want to put this book down
Ender's Game started out as a book I read for a science fiction book report in 8th grade. I am soon to be a sophomore and have been reading the sequels on and off ever since. Now this may seem normal, but I hate reading; actually I despise it, but that...

Pros: A great main character
Cons: The ending could have been better
"Ender's Game" raises the bar for Science Fiction novels everywhere. Orson Scott Card tells a brilliant story. His writing is lurid and complete. His story is filled with clever and cunning notions that draw the reader further into the...

Pros: Lots
Cons: few
He was but a boy when taken from his parents. He was the third child, someone to be ashamed of. Still he was the smartest of them all. No one could take his place. No one was like Andrew 'Ender' Wiggin.
In the future, about 40 or 50 years,...

Pros: Excellent characters, complex and well crafted plots
Cons: You will be reading for a long time :)
If you are looking for some wonderful science fiction, if you are unsure as to which of the many authors and titles to choose, you will not go wrong selecting Orson Scott Card. Begin your foray into his work with this, his first commercial hit and one of...

by Mordred , Feb 25 '00
Pros: Incredible story, intense action, great plot twists
Cons: While reading you neglect everything else in life.
I discovered this book when Xenocide first came out about 8 years ago. I didn't realize it was a series when I first picked up Xenocide, but I read and enjoyed it greatly and had to go back and find the rest of the books in the series.
I...

Pros: story, characters, writing style
Cons: None - this could be the perfect book
What I would do if I were you would be stop reading this epinion and go read Ender's Game. I've been reading sci-fi for over 15 years and this is without a doubt the best book I've ever read Card has a style of writing that not only keeps you...

Pros: great story, well written.
Cons: only for science fiction fans
Ender's Game: You can't really consider yourself a real science fiction fan until you read this book. It is required reading (says who? me!) Not that everybody will always love it. Some don't. But you'll never know until you try. The book is well...
