Definitely a page-turner. I like it because it's an easy read but it's not childish. There are a lot of "adult" concepts centered around a little kid. It's a very interesting book and I figured I should read it before the movie came out. Not sure if I'm going to read any sequels or anything yet. Maybe in the future.

(3,5*)
I first gave this book 3,5 stars, but after thinking about it for a good long time, I'm increasing it to 4,5 stars. The book itself was mediocre, yet still highly enjoyable. But that ending...
After finishing 'Ender's Game' I thought that I coudn't just give this book an extra star because the ending was very, very impressive. I thought I needed to give the book a rating as a whole. But I don't think that's true anymore. Because this ending stuck with me, and therefore the book stuck with me. And sometimes I still think about 'Ender's Game' and I still think 'wow, that ending...'
There really aren't a lot of books that manage to do that, I think, and 'Ender's Game' deserves more credit for that than I give it at first.

Kitapta hoşuma gitmeyen tek bölümle başlamak istiyorum.O da anlatılmak istenenin genellikle diyaloglarla anlatılmasıydı.Herkes sürekli bir karşılıklı konuşma içerisindeydi.Bazı bölümlerde bu yüzden sıkıldım.
Bilim-kurgunun babası olarak biliniyor.Bence çok da muhteşem değildi.Sadece türünün ilk örneklerinden, belki de ilk örneğiydi.Hakkını yemeyeceğim.1985 yılında yazılmış ve gelecekten bahseden bir kitap olduğunu düşünürsek,tasvirler hayran olunası.Bugün bile sahip olmadığımız bir teknolojiiyi ta o yıllarda düşünmüş,anlatmış.
Benim için en önemli kısmıysa klişeden uzak ve ilgi çekici olması.Finalini de çok güzel yaptı.Seriye devam etmeyi düşünüyorum.

If I was 10 I would like this book better. It’s seems implausible to me that a 6 year old has the ability to do and talk the way that Ender does. Decent story but in my opinion it’s a bit overrated

4.5? i can never decide. This was really enjoyable and well written. The plot, battles, and characters were done really well, but I think it was all the philosophy, ethics, and character depth throughout the story that really made it out stand out from other books. The characters are very well-written, however, they are almost TOO deep and self-reflecting for your average 6,8,&9 year old, so that was hard to overlook sometimes. But still, it was fun, engaging and thought-provoking all at once. Would recommend

Did a quick re-read before going to see the movie. I still love this book. Could do without the Peter and Valentine parts. I just don't really care about that stuff.

I actually have had friends tell me they couldn't be my friend since I hadn't read this book. Luckily, they did stay my friends, but I have finally corrected the issue and read it! And I am so glad that I did! I had been a little concerned that it would be overly sci fi or filled with too much jargon and battle strategy. But instead I found that the description of this futuristic society was easy to understand and get used to, and the games were well written and easy to follow so you are right on the edge of your seat for what is going to happen! Very entertaining, and I am excited to read the series!
