Product Description
An practiced at simulated war games, Andrew “Ender” Wiggin believes that he is engaged in one more computer war game when, in truth, he is commanding the last Planet fleet against an alien race seeking Planet’s perfect destruction.Amazon.com Review
In order to renovate a secure defense against a hostile alien race’s next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew “Ender” Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he likes more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn’t make the cut–young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training.
Ender’s skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers momentously from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling dread of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, dread that he is apt like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister. Back on Planet, Peter and Valentine forge an intellectual alliance and attempt to change the course of history.
This futuristic tale involves aliens, political discourse on the Internet, sophisticated computer games, and an orbiting battle station. Yet the reason it rings right for so many is that it is first and foremost a tale of humanity; a tale of a boy struggling to grow up into a name he can respect while living in an environment stripped of choices. Ender’s Game is a must-read book for science fiction lovers, and a key conversion read for their friends who “don’t read science fiction.”
Ender’s Game won both the Hugo and the Nebula the year it came out. Writer Orson Scott Card followed up this honor with the first-time feat of winning both awards again the next year for the sequel, Speaker for the Dead. –Bonnie Bouman

Incredible schlock, that is. Really lacking merit.
I soldiered on to the end, hoping for some redeeming feature, and establish none.
Tiresome, repititious nonsense.
And, to my amazement, several thousand Amazonians establish it significant literature.
But, then, Harry Potter never made any sense to me,either.
So sorry.

This book was on my daughter’s middle school reading list. I have fervently objected with the school due to the profanity, depictions of women/girls as second-rate, graphic sexual description, use of racial slurs, and acceptance of “murder by the oppressed.” We should absolutely hold up the ideal to our kids and let them see excellent literature that is excellent reading, and enjoyable lacking all the profanity and objectionable themes. Ender’s Game is not appropriate for this age, in my opinion. Ender’s Game is not excellent literature.

Ender’s Game bore me to tears. It doesn’t have any point to the tale at all. The entire tale is about a huge video game war with bugs. Blah, Blah, Blah… Please don’t read this book. You’ll thank me later.

I had to read this book for class. I was very disappointed in the quality of this literature. It was so melodramatic! And they made Ender appear to be a semi-God. To keep it fleeting, it was terribly dull. TERRIBLY. My suggestion to you is, RUN, RUN, Run away from Ender’s Game, before you get boredom cancer like me!

This book is amazingly terrible. It has every single trait of a terrible book, it is:
A: Repetitive
B: Dull
C: Long
D: Depressing
The book is about a genius 6 year ancient cadet in military school where everyone is violent and evil and wants to injure or kill everyone else. His brother (who is only slightly older than he is) is homicidal. This is a very well loved book, but I sincerely and absolutely despised it.
(In fairness to the book, but I did not end it. I only read half because I was so bored with it I stopped.)
