(  )1  MartinaL | Dec 6, 2009 | Phenomenal book! (  )1 RichTatum | Dec 3, 2009 | I love this book, and am reading the series. Ender is such a wonderful soul, and his family is great too. I love the archetypes they fill, and then break out of throughout the whole series. Card has a wonderful way of making Science Fiction both realistic and accessible. He uses technical speak, but also appeals to those of us who are more interested in character development and story. This would be a wonderful book to lead into an LA/SS interdependent unit on genocide. Sometimes it is easier for young people to understand a concept if they learn about it as fiction first, and his is a compelling story that would be a good introduction to an ugly idea. 1 coresonk | Dec 2, 2009 | What a fine sci-fi! A true classic: living characters, interesting visions (global computer networks - compare it with the present and astonish!) and a fine bit of alien invasion. (  )1 kziarkow | Nov 25, 2009 | 
 I am aware that this sounds like the synopsis of a grade Z, made-for-television, science-fiction-rip-off movie. But Mr. Card has shaped this unpromising material into an affecting novel full of surprises that seem inevitable once they are explained. The key, of course, is Ender Wiggin himself. Mr. Card never makes the mistake of patronizing or sentimentalizing his hero.
