Great book.

Read it twice. I remember the first time feeling a bit like it was 'Harry Potter ... in .. Spaaaaace', but that would ultimately be unfair. I particular remember the feeling of the books last half (which is ultimately what drew me back to it for a second read).

Beware the sequels, they're not bad (IMHO), but they do have I think a very different style/pace/setting than the original so should almost be considered another book by the same author (although the same characters appear in both).

Too unrealistic, too confusing, too much violence. Too weird with the buggers...

Asombroso, fascinante, conmovedor. Ciencia ficción sin entrar en detalle en la tecnología pero lo más curioso es que no le hace falta en absoluto. Muy muy recomendable

Well it took me about 3 months to get from cover to cover (with a few other books in between) but that is not a reflection on how much I actually enjoyed Ender's Game.
I am not a regular sci-fi fantasy reader (in fact this was my first book in that genre) yet I found the book very readable, enjoyable and thought-provoking.
Very interesting concepts and a pretty good story line to go with it.
Highly recommended.
