This book was one of the greatest I have ever read. I love Orson Scott Card and this is the book that launched my love for his novels

A beautifully crafted book. I love it.

Ender's Game was one of the best books ever. I read it in second grade, so it is fairly easy. But some of the content is very mature. Two boys fight to the death naked, and lots of nudity, but no sex. There is bloody violence, language, (espesially in the beginnning) including a lot of A words. (yes, the extended version too) I think there were one or two F words. Ender's Game is a must read for 13 up.

awesome!

This book is one of my all time favorites. Orson Scott Card is an incredible writer, and the Ender series is my favorite of all his works. Ender's Game deals with some very complex topics and characters that may be hard to grasp for a younger audience, but the book itself is written in such a way that it is readable for almost anyone in spite of that. It can be contemplated deeply and be enjoyed that way, but it can also be enjoyed for the story and characters on a less analytic level. I first read this book when I was 8 (my parents do not censor my reading material as they do not know English well) and have reread it numerous times since, while also delving into the rest of the series and the numerous parallels and prequels that Card has written. At age 8, I found the book incredibly gruesome. Violence is perhaps the only thing that I would reckon that would be of major concern with parents. Children kill other children, children are taught to act ruthlessly, and other events such as the giant's drink have some violent material. Thus, I would probably say that an appropriate age for this book would be at around the age of a high school student. In my opinion, the language is mild and infrequent. "Fart" is probably the most commonly used questionable word, which is hardly a crude word. Other sorts of cursing occur only once in a while. The children in battle school are also naked in their quarters, but it is only briefly mentioned, so I would hardly call it nudity. There are honestly much worse forms of nudity and language that occur in other science fiction books such as 1984 (another fantastic book, by the way). Ender's Game is very appropriate for teenagers in comparison. The most common piece of criticism I have heard over this book is about how unrealistic and incredulous the children's behavior and verbalization are. Their behavior is placed in there for a reason, and I believe it allows the book to delve into deeper themes and development to contemplate. Although this deals with war and guns (things that one would generally think that would attract a young boy's interest), this book can appeal to a wide audience. As a girl, I thoroughly enjoyed this, as well as my adult-aged brother as well. Overall, this is an absolutely amazing science fiction classic. It would be more suitable for a high school aged reader, only because of the violence and somewhat gruesome descriptions.

I loved it. one of my favorite books. as a 13 year old boy who loves reading i found that i disagree about most of the comments about violence. Even though i agree that there was violence and language, anybody 12 years or older has experienced much more gruesome violence and cursing through school and video games. the cursing was very uncommon and if you don't want to, you do not have to imagine an extremely gruesome death (thats what's so great about books).The book also included an emotional, exiting, and inspiring book. This book has taught me that you can do anything. it doesn't matter if your a kid or an adult as long as your completely driven(or forced in this case). I totally recommend this book!

I had to read this book because it was on my summer reading list and since it was I didn't think it would be any good, but it actually was. The whole futuristic thing is really cool and even though it's really violent and at sometimes confusing, it's a really good book with some really good twists.

Its too "outer-spacey" for my taste
