Summary: Not so much a science fiction
Comment: In the country where I am from some works of science fiction were totally ignored. Although we knew many modern sci-fi writers we never heard of Orson Card. I am not surprised though having finally read this book. It's actually more about the phylosophical issues related to the function of our society then just some sci-fi work. I will definitely read the next book in this series. At the same time I felt that somethig was missing, something that makes the difference between very good book and great book. The author is sometimes just too serious. This is the reason I gave this book four stars instead of five.

Summary: A true page turner...
Comment: Ender Wiggin is six years old, and he's probably smarter than most adults. So the government chooses him as one of the children to be sent off to Battle School in outer space, where they stage "battles" in order to pick out military genuises to defeat the buggers in the next "Bugger War", in attempts to save mankind. A true page turner, Ender's Game kept me reading 24/7. OSC, without doing the whole "pity my character" thing, creates a character that you can sympathize with, in a setting that, unlike many sci fi books, seems realistic. No amazing gadgets that can't be explained, etc. A main character who's a genuis can only be as smart as the author who's writting it. OSC is obviously one of the most intellegent writers alive.

Summary: This book almost got me dumped!!!
Comment: I was recommended this book by two friends while on a Spring Break trip as one of the greatest books EVER written (they were appalled that I had never heard of it before). I couldn't pass up skipping that one now I decided. I came home and started reading it and soon couldn't set it down! I was so enthralled in the book that I spent every moment out of college and work reading it! My girl-friend actually got jealous and upset that I was paying too much attention to the book and ignoring her and my studies!
It is enthrawling and suspenseful! It is amazing to see Card's view of the future (as the book was written way back in 1985). The strategies that Ender comes up to understand his enemies enlighten you to feel as if you are one of those smart children, like you know how he feels! And with that understanding comes the capability to crush and destroy them in competition. Yet he does not wish for power, or glory. Everything is in this story that you could ever hope for...and just when you think the book is running out of time to get to a good ending...the surprise will blow you away.
I have not read a book like this in a VERY VERY long time. It doesn't have any dull or slow moments, and it is hard to set down.
