Bruh. (That's it. That's the review for Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. Sometimes, you just need one word.) For more Ender's Game book reviews, check out our site!

In Orson Scott Card’s science-fiction novel *Ender's Game*, we meet Ender Wiggins, a talented little boy who has the fate of the world on his shoulders. After an extensive period of monitoring, Ender attends a school for gifted children, training to learn the techniques to battle the buggers, an alien lifeform.When I started my career, I worked at an automotive company where I can only describe the environment as ideal. Our leader, we will call him King Arthur, was always looking out for his tea...

Dear Fans of This Book Who Are Probably About To Make An Angry Comment On This Review:Please leave now if you don't want to get all huffy and insulted and make a comment defending the author or whatever other stuff is in this book. Or, if you want, go ahead. If you're going to comment, at least read the whole review and not just a quarter of it. I'm so sick of repeating myself over and over in the ...

[Check out my website for more awesome book reviews! http://unlearner.com]I really wanted to love *Ender's Game*. I truly did. It's almost unbelievable that even halfway through, I was still foolishly optimistic that the book would somehow redeem itself. That it would justify the tedious, repetitive, mind-numbingly dull chapters I slogged through over several days (which is saying something, because I'm usually a fast reader).It pains me to say it, especially as a hardcore sci-fi fan, but one of...

I read Ender's Game decades ago with no special expectations. Like most books, it just happened to be lying around the house. I read it, was hugely entertained, and went on to read three or four of the sequels.I've heard all sorts of 'stuff' about Orson Scott Card since, but what's true and what isn't I don't know, and I'm not here to critique the man behind the keyboard. All I can do is report on the contents of Ender's Game, and I can thoroughly recommend you check it out.The main character, E...

I think *Ender's Game* is the only book I've read three times. For me, books often don't have the same re-reading value as some movies have for re-watching. It's probably because a movie takes two hours of your time, while a novel, for me, takes a week or longer. So, for someone like me to read a novel twice, not to mention three times, is really saying something [and yes, I realize the inherent snobbery in that statement]. I've thought long and hard about what makes *Ender's Game* so appealing...

I read Orson Scott Card's *Ender's Game* because it was often the favorite novel of students of mine, and I wanted to understand why. I should mention that I love science fiction, and have read it avidly since I was barely more than a child. I'm not by any means some kind of anti-sci-fi snob. The first thing that bothered me is that the novel sets adults against gifted children in a way that strikes me as bizarre. Adults are essentially evil but teachers especially. The children are inherently ...

Spoiler Alert***God damn, I hated *Ender's Game*. I checked it out on Amazon and can totally see why I decided to give it a shot. It's got a real cult following of people absolutely smitten with it. I even read that it's on the required reading list at Quantico. I guess this book could be some kind of manifesto for misfit nerds who waste their lives playing video games, or a source of legitimacy for motivating tired Marines sick of drilling. (The book drones on and on about the boy genius Ender ...

This was the first book I picked up and read all the way through in one sitting. Technically, Ender's Game isn't a difficult read, but conceptually it's rich and engaging. "They have a word for people our age. They call us children and they treat us like mice." If you can't understand that statement, you probably won't like Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. It's about intelligent children. Not miniature adults—their motivations, understanding, and sometimes naivete clearly mark them as childre...

I got nipped by a tiny poodle the other day—wait—no, someone protested my review of *The Giver* the other day. If you've got any pent-up rage left over from that college lit teacher who forced you to *think* about books, be sure to swing by and unleash some incoherent fury. My reviews have become a socially acceptable outlet for the insecure, apparently. Anyway, one of those commenters argued that kids need dumber versions of great books because children are just dumbed-down versions of normal ...
