Orson Scott Card's 'Ender's Game: Special 20th Anniversary Edition' is a timeless masterpiece and serves as the inaugural installment in the captivating Ender's series. Although initially intended as a standalone novel, the author has since expanded the universe, allowing readers to delve deeper into the story. If you found yourself engrossed in this book and curious about what lies ahead, fret not, as there are numerous subsequent books awaiting your discovery. In this gripping tale, humanity finds itself embroiled in a war against formidable extraterrestrial beings reminiscent of gigantic bugs. One can easily forget the tender age of the "soldiers" involved. Ender, for instance, embarks on his journey at the tender age of six when he enrolls in War School. Nevertheless, Ender and his comrades possess extraordinary intellect and skills, setting them apart from ordinary children. Trained to lead armies in the face of hostile bug-like creatures, their courage knows no bounds. If you have yet to embark on this literary adventure, I highly recommend immersing yourself in its pages. Moreover, the prospects of a Hollywood movie adaptation slated for release in November 2013 make it all the more enticing.

I decided to pick up this book after hearing a lot of hype about it throughout the years. Firstly, I must say that the production quality is truly top-notch. It's incredibly easy to listen to, and all of the narrators do an outstanding job. However, when it comes to the story itself, I have to admit that it fell a bit short of its renowned status. I managed to piece together most of the plot halfway through, and even the supposed surprise ending didn't catch me off guard. Nevertheless, I took a chance on the subsequent books. "Speaker" exceeded my expectations and was truly excellent. "Xenocide" was quite good, although it did drag on at times. As for "Children," I don't think I'll venture into that territory again, to be honest. While "Ender's Game" isn't terrible, I personally found it more suited for a younger audience, around 12 years old, rather than adults in their thirties.

Ender's Game: Special 20th Anniversary Edition is undeniably one of the best science fiction books ever written. It has gained immense recognition and is included in the curriculum of military academies, colleges, and literature courses. Personally, it holds the top spot in my favorite sci-fi books. This book, along with the others in the Ender's Game universe, has set a new standard in the genre. Set in a future where Earth has faced two alien invasions by a species referred to as "Buggers," Ender's Game follows the story of Ender, a highly intelligent and strategic child chosen to attend an advanced battle school. Being the third child in a world where having more than two children is strictly prohibited, Ender's parents were granted an exception due to the exceptional qualities displayed by their older siblings. Ender's brother was deemed too brutal, while his sister was too empathetic, resulting in their dismissal from military training. However, the leader of the battle school believes that Ender possesses the perfect combination of intellect, calculated ruthlessness, and the ability to empathize with the enemy. Ender's journey begins at Battle School, an orbiting facility where he quickly showcases his military brilliance and emerges as a natural leader, guiding and instructing his fellow cadets. The academy's leader manipulates situations, alters rules, and pushes Ender to his limits in order to shape him into the future commander of Earth's space forces, preparing to strike back against the alien threat. Meanwhile, Ender's brother and sister covertly establish themselves as influential political and social figures on Earth, utilizing their intelligence and charisma despite their youth. This book raises thought-provoking questions about ethics and morality that will remain relevant for generations to come. In 2013, a movie adaptation of the book was released. While it boasted impressive special effects and attempted to stay true to the original work, it fell short in comparison to the brilliance of the novel. The author, Orson Scott Card, has faced criticism for his political and social views. However, it is important to separate these opinions from the undeniable masterpiece that is Ender's Game. Stefan Rudnicki delivers an exceptional narration, as he has done in other books by Orson Scott Card. Although it took me a few minutes to adjust to his voice initially, his talent shines through consistently. While I usually recommend genre fans to listen to books I enjoy, this time I confidently say that EVERYONE will find value in this book. It is an absolute MUST READ that will not disappoint.

Man, let me tell you, this book is absolutely mind-blowing! Trust me, all those other reviewers aren't lying, you gotta get your hands on this one. It's seriously the cream of the crop when it comes to sci-fi, but honestly, I reckon anyone would dig it. Not only is the story top-notch, but the performance of the narrator is off the charts. It's a fantastic listen that'll keep you hooked from start to finish.

If you can get on board with the idea of a 6-year-old being chosen to save humanity, 8-year-olds talking like sophisticated adults, 10-year-olds possessing the wisdom of monks, and 12-year-olds engaging in political discussions with groundbreaking ideas, then perhaps this book will pique your interest. If you can endure the continuous visits to a fictional computer game that is filled with symbolism that only the author truly comprehends, then perhaps you will find enjoyment in this book. If you have the patience to wait for something impactful to occur, then maybe this book will resonate with you. However, I personally did not have a positive experience with it. I stopped reading partway through, which is a rarity for me. Usually, I give books a fair chance, but this one simply wore me down.

I recently finished listening to (reading) Ender's Game after going through Dan Brown's books like The Davinci Code and Angels and Demons. While I absolutely loved the Dan Brown titles, I have to say that Ender's Game was on a whole other level. Ender Wiggen is truly an unforgettable character. His journey will resonate with those who believe in the immense power of our minds, while still craving an exciting, suspenseful, and emotionally charged story. If you're currently debating whether to start Ender's Game, my advice is simple - just do it. Trust me, it doesn't get any better than this.

The story of Ender's Game: Special 20th Anniversary Edition is set in a futuristic sci-fi world, where Earth is in need of a hero to protect against potential invaders from another planet known as the Buggers. Ender, a gifted child, is chosen to attend Battle School along with other genius children. Their training includes battle games in zero gravity and simulated battles, with the hope of preparing them to command Earth's fleet and save humanity from extinction. The book primarily focuses on Ender's challenging journey through Battle School, showcasing his potential as Earth's greatest hope for salvation. Personally, I found this book thoroughly enjoyable. It offers a unique and engaging story that never becomes boring. The ending is particularly impressive and catches the reader completely off guard. In terms of performance, there are three narrators - two male and one female. While it's refreshing to have distinct voices for the characters, I found their voices to be too mature to convincingly portray children. In my humble opinion, the performance is satisfactory but not exceptional. I have also listened to the four free chapters of Ender's Game Alive, which I believe may be slightly better, but it's a tough call. Overall, I highly recommend this story to readers of all ages and genders. Although there are some semi-violent fights among the children, there is no explicit content or profanity. While it is part of a series, this book can definitely be enjoyed on its own, as it has a satisfying conclusion.

I don't get all the hype surrounding this book, to be honest. It was a bit of a struggle for me to push through and finish it. I can acknowledge that the author has some writing skills, but the plot itself felt a bit lackluster. It was quite challenging for me to connect with a nine-year-old protagonist who is deprived of freedom and choices, spending most of their time in simulations that aren't even dangerous, and whose strategies are somewhat unclear and made up. As a result, when the main character manages to outsmart their opponents, it just felt like we were expected to accept that their strategy was superior. Additionally, there were some issues with the story towards the end, but I won't go into details to avoid spoiling anything.

Orson Scott Card is without a doubt one of the most exceptional science fiction authors to have ever graced the genre. Every single installment in the Ender series is an absolute masterpiece that deserves to be devoured repeatedly, whether through reading or listening. If you're on the hunt for a fantastic audiobook to indulge in, this one absolutely deserves a spot in your top 15 for science fiction. If you've never had the privilege of delving into the captivating world of Ender, I genuinely sympathize with you for missing out, but also envy you for the incredible journey you're about to embark on. So sit back, relax, and get ready to immerse yourself in this breathtaking universe. Enjoy the ride!

Ironic and sad that Tor is also the same publisher that publishes all of Card's books, and imo many of the people there who works with him are also the same people that are basically blacklisting him, even though Ender's Game has helped Tor to become the giant they are today.

Funny, I was just talking about this in another thread - about how it can be hard to let go of art once you find out the artist pushes an agenda you’re not buying. We were referring to Olson Scott Card (Ender’s Game) & CS Lewis (Narnia), but yeah - Moore works, too.

Maybe a more concrete example - Ender's Game is a book that (anecdotally) has helped a lot of kids who felt like they didn't belong, including a lot of queer kids. It was written by Orson Scott Card, a man who financially contributes to homophobic causes.

The ansible likely gained popularity when Orson Scott Card used it in the Ender's Game series, and now you can come across it in many other science fiction novels, and it is probably safe to say that LeGuin's ansible has become part of the SF lexicon.

4/4...are separate. You might choose not to support a living author anymore (like say, Orson Scott Card, Alexie, or even Díaz), But no one can take Ender’s Game away from you. A reader also has agency. Others feel differently, obv, and it’s also important to respect diff choices

I'd have to agree. Dilbert is a fun way to poke at the powerful. But just because I like it doesn't mean I have to like the author. I loved the Ender's Game series too, but Card's views on homosexuality and world religion are messed up

Why Orson Scott Card? If you've read his Ender's Game series and played MassEffect you would know. Okay, *maybe* you would know. To me the connection is obvious.

I'm alone in thinking that Fahrenheit 451 is one of Bradbury's worse books (I still think it's okay). I greatly prefer The Martian Chronicles. I'd probably add any Orson Scott Card book that isn't Ender's Game plus any epic fantasy novel written since LOTR (and LOTR).

LoisMcMasterBujold is my favorite, but I'll take Star Trek in any form, Ender's Game (if we ignore Card's politics, not easy), Asimov, etc. Women of generations not on Twitter count, too; my mom's copy of Children of the Atom is in pieces, held together by a rubber band.

Ender’s Game was a good book and I find that’s it’s really weird that Card is like that because the book seems to be written in favour of child innocence, and I don’t see where that innocence is destroyed when it comes to one’s sexuality. He should have been above that.

Orson Scott Card had some pretty harsh words about their writing, then D&D wrote in Orson Lannister (a "moron") who crushed beetles (probably a reference to the Bugs in Ender's Game). Not officially confirmed but it's a pretty obvious retaliation to that.

Oak, if I recall correctly. In one of Orson Scott Card's books in the 'Ender's Game' series, there is a culture that plant a tree on top of the graves of their dead. The 'dead' then inhabit the trees that grow, their soul/spirit does. So the trees are sentient beings.
