Ender's Game

This is one of the best books I've ever read, and I don't even like science fiction (although I'm kind of starting to doubt that now).  It is writing at its best, full of ideas, twists and passages that make you think.  I won't hesitate to recommend it to anyone!  I loved it.  Samantha B.

I highly recommend this book!  This book is a very good science fiction story.  It has won two major awards, the Hugo and the Nebula.  This book is a very exciting action book, but it also has an amazing plot.  If you like science fiction and action-filled books I recommend this book greatly!  Joel C.

This is a great book and is very interesting.  You easily become attached to the characters.  Not just science fiction readers will enjoy this.  Also this book causes you to think.  I recommend this book to all.  Justina T.

Even though this book is science fiction, everyone would like it.  It's fast paced right from the beginning and doesn't start off slowly.  It is for older readers, though.  You see the story through the main character's eyes and so you don't know anything that he doesn't know.  It is a very good book that everyone should read.  Elizabeth E.

A very good book. Sad at times and also sometimes a bit confusing. Hang in there, the ending is very good and well worth the effort. Katie L.

This is an excellent book of Andrew Wiggin and his life and training to be a commander for the fight against the buggers. This book was very good. I couldn't put it down! Dillon M.

This book is very exciting and hard to put down. It is based in the future and Earth has been attacked twice by aliens. The government is recruiting (and creating) genius children and Ender is one, but he is the special one. But is he going to be able to save the world in time? Intense, ongoing. Alicia B.

I really liked this book. It was really good and I could hardly put it down. It is about a young boy in the future who people think is going to save humans from aliens who are called buggers. Karla B.

This book is a parallel novel to Ender's Game.  This is a thought-provoking novel about Ender's friend Bean.  This is Bean's story.
