Rate the book Enders Game

[DaiShan]

I'll give it a 9.5, I read it when I was in 7th grade or so, I used to do a lot of reading back then probably 500 pages a week (of stuff I enjoyed not 500 pages of history like it is now heh) anyways I loved the way this book was written and really enjoyed it, got a few of my friends to put down WoT for it for a little while (course then I started with WoT heh)

I somehow have missed this, but I went online to my library's website and reserved it. Thanx. Will let you know my opinion in a few hours when I've finished it.

I've never read a better sci-fi book. I've read other good sci-fi books but have never had the desire to reread any of them like I have Ender's Game.

 

[ElFenix]

i don't think it's all that great. thing is, most scifi books suck so much ass that even a mediocre book looks awesome in comparison.

 

[UpGrD]

Great book....

 

[Electric Amish]

Never read it.

It's been a while since I last read it, but I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the sequels degraded in quality really fast IMO. Haven't read the newer parallel books (Ender's Shadow, etc.) but might check them out.

Definately a good read.

 

[nageov3t]

good read. but Frank Herbert and Robert Heinlien (sp) are both better Sci-Fi writers.

Read it recently...on Speaker for the dead now....I got into Ender's game more...speaker moves a little slow

 

[GoingUp]

great book

Im also quite partial to the redwall series

 

[Deeko]

I loved it. Speaker for the Dead was amazing too, and Ender's Shadow was very good(I'd say 3rd in the series)...I wasn't quite as big a fan of Xenocide and Children of the Mind, but they were still good reads. Right now I'm working on Shadow of the Hegemon...interesting

I've read it... loved it. They're making a movie about it soon... Ender will be much older in it, though.

 

[thomsbrain]

i liked it, but i thought it was simplistic. i mean, you have to realize it is a kid's book.

the sequels however, were better. they were more exciting and conceptually deeper. by the last one, i was sad to be out of books.

i haven't read the spinoff "sequels" and have little interest in doing so, since spinoff books always seem to suck.

 

[SaltBoy]

I loved every bit of it except for the last chapter. What's with the new-agey ending?

I loved the Shadow series, because it was a political/war novel. Shadowpuppets is my second or third favorite book of all time (you can't beat Dune). However, the Speaker series didn't interest me very much. It was all ecology and social interaction and just had a sci-fi background.

Has anyone read his other books? I really enjoyed Pastwatch, which deals with a group of scientists who (in the super-techy future) realize that the earth is screwed and it all started with Christopher Columbus colonizing the New World. I enjoyed it, because it wasn't so much about "time travel" as it was causeality and the consequence.

Ender's Game is great. The rest of the series (and its spin-offs) are pretty good, with Speaker for the Dead being my favorite.

I've read most of Card's other books. Pastwatch is probably my favorite book of his.
