[[Edit-ness! Yay!]]
Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card, is a pretty good book. There are a lot of sequels and books associated with it - three sequels, and another series that takes place in the same "universe" with the same characters.
Personally, I liked Speaker for the Dead better than Ender's Game, but you'd have to read EG first - and it's a boon to SciFi literature in general.
So... what do you have to say?

Actually, there are several sequels, both short stories and novels. You might try Speaker for the Dead, which is not as good as Ender's Game, but does continue the story of Ender Wiggins.

I liked the book but rest books in the series were more... well it got you to think a little bit more Ender's game is good as a book but I don't consider it to be good sci-fi. sci-fi should make you think.
xd ...or at least I think so.

Ahh, I loved Enders Game, honestly. 'Twas one of the greatest Sci-Fi's I've ever read. My boyfriend got me into it. biggrin
Anywho, Speaker of The Dead was good, I liked it as well. But it wasn't as good as Ender's Game.

Ender's game is one of my favorite books, i recommend it to just about anyone who asks me what they should read. However, it's not really part of a trilogy per sey. There are the books that follow Ender, ie Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide, but then there are also the books that follow Bean, ie Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow of the giant, etc, which I personally think are better then Speaker and Xenocide. Speaking of it, My boyfriend got me a new short story by Card that takes place during their time at Battleschool for Hanukkah, called A War of Gifts, which looks quite interesting, and just came out this year. I'll let you guys know how it is after I finish reading it.

I really enjoyed Ender's Game. I've read it a couple of times. Ender's Shadow was also interesting, but I liked it less because it seemed a little more 'dark', for a lack of a better term, than Ender's Game.

I loved Ender's Game when I read it for a book club a in 8th grade!
I really liked how the ending came out.
We (the book club) had this giant dicussion on what color we thought the aliens were...

I have all the books in the series and like them, although I actually liked Bean's journey more than Ender's. IMO, Ender's journey kinda felt sad in Speaker of the Dead. I'm hoping for a new book in the series.

I liked Ender's Game the best. I also liked Ender's Shadow. I never really got into the rest of the books though. I don't really know why.
But Ender's Game is one of my favorite books, partially just for sentimental value because it would be the book that really got me into sci-fi.

I've read Ender's Game from a friend's recommendation and I have to say it's very different from most sci-fi I've read but it was good.

Ender's Game was an excellent novel and I enjoyed all of the subsequent novels that Mr. Scott Card wrote as a result of the success of Ender's Game. Of the original 4 book series I liked Children of the Mind best.
The Bean series was just as engaging and enjoyable for the different approach taken to the subject.
I have not enjoyed any other of Orson Scott Card's other books at all.

Ender's Game is the only book from the Ender series I've read. I liked the Shadow series much better. Ender's Shadow was actually my favorite. Yes, it was darker; but that made it better. Bean just seems like a more interesting character than Ender. He made Hannibal Lecter look like nothing. To me, anyway.

I loved this book! I actually liked Enders Shadow better, as I understand and can relate more to Bean then Ender, but Enders Game was pretty good as well.
I really want to read the others, and I'm going to. First though, I have to make my parents take me to the bookstore. God, I hate not being able to drive.

Ender's Game is a good book. I read it my sophmore year for the school bookclub. I haven't read any of the following books...I probably should at some point. (Which will mean that I'll have to re-read Ender's Game at some point.)

Ender's Game was the best book I had ever read! Although I haven't read any of the other books. But I do plan on reading them. My health/Careers teacher Mr. Capitan, who, by the way is so awesome, recommended it to me; and for that I am thankful. 3nodding
