Nice adaptatiojn, but the reveal somehow not as powerful on the comic page

Very interesting read. Six year old kids being trained to save the world... It felt somewhat rushed and like some stuff was likely skipped over, but if nothing else it made me more interested in reading the original book. I think (without having read the original before) that this would be a good introduction to the story (and the sci-fi genre as a whole) for reluctant younger readers. Action packed, bullied kid standing up for the little guy and making something legendary of himself... good stu...

Not as good as the book, but still good. I'm kind of curious to know what someone who's never read the book or seen the movie thinks of this. There are parts of this that don't get much explanation that are clearer in the book, but it certainly hits all the high points. The artwork is decent, though it does get a little grainy in spots. Not sure if that's the printing or the original artwork, but I suspect the latter. I'm guessing this was done digitally and the pixelation comes from zooming in

Graphic novel adaptations of a novel are really hard to do well. Since a tremendous amount of work goes into making one, they can only afford to do this for really popular and detailed novels. And the biggest problem is that there are many important scenes throughout the novel that maybe take up like 2 or 3 pages, but if you wish to do it justice in a graphic novel adaptation it will take 3-5 pages or so depending on that scene. Also, the graphic novel has an extremely limited amount of space av...

Do you like a book that really gets you gears turning, or maybe you like a book that twists your heart at times? If yes, this is a great book for you. Ender's Game by Orson Scott and Christopher Yost is a great sci-fi book that addresses key political and controversial issues. This book follows a boy named Ender Wiggins and his fight to be the best in a military battle school filled to the brim with the smartest and brightest. Ender wants to make something of his life. Along with Ender's point

Unfortunately, it does not really capture the novel.

BOOK REVIEW: I’m almost ashamed to write this, but having read Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, I just don’t understand the hype and why this is considered a sci-fi classic. Let me save you some time: If you’re in the mood to read a book about bullying at a futuristic battle-training school for six-year-olds (yes, you read that right…it made just as little sense to me), where the students just continue to do battle simulations over and over again when they’re not bullying each other, then this

Let me start off by saying that Ender's Game is one of my favorite books of all time, so I knew that the story of this graphic novel interpretation would be good. Overall, the whole thing was exactly what I'd come to expect.Two issues though: 1) The art. While it is cool to see a different imagining of the story, the biggest problem I had was with the faces. The kids look too similar and are hard to tell apart. 2) The end. I won't ruin it here, since I think the Final Exam is an amazing part, bu...

This story is similar to Starship Troopers, in many ways. A future Earth's hegemonic government reacts to an existential threat, by a distant race of interstellar arthropods, by conscription or "encouraging" young people to defend their species against this menace. In both cases, we see a possible future for humanity. But this is as far as I can see the similarities. Starship Troopers, the novel, is entirely different from the film while still just barely following the general outline. Having no...

Ender's game was wonderful. After that book I didn't know what to expect. The rest of Ender's adventure was interesting, but lacked what caught my attention in the first book with battle school and Ender's inner battle with his emotions. While some of that still existed on his journey, it lacked that suspense and sense of accomplishment that the original first book provided. With the piggies and Jane, and a religious girl across the universe, it just was kind of out there.Enders Shadow(Bean) wa

Having first read the novel, I can't "un-read" it to see what this graphic novel treatment of Card's book might be like for a first-timer in Card's Battle School and Formic Wars. I expect it might not be as rich and deep as my experience was reading this graphic novel. The original Ender's Game is in my Top 10 Fave Books lists to this day. Chris Yost was quite disciplined and true to the Battle School aspect of this story, and the illustration was both technically proficient and heartfelt, the l...

I should really read Ender's Game. The actual book, I mean. But. The reviews look iffy, and it's old sci-fi.So. Ta-Da!Problem solved...I read the graphic novel adaptation.Alright, I (obviously) have no idea how well this thing follows the book, but it hit enough major points for me to follow along.Ender is a teeny-tiny little kid (like 6), and he's basically being groomed to save the world.From what I could gather, the government requested that his parents try one more time to get it right. Big

Confession: I did not want to spend the time to read Orson Scott Card's novel "Ender's Game" (though I should, being a children's librarian, and am sure that the day will come...) so I embraced the graphic novel. I rarely read graphic novel, especially adaptations of novels, but it was a good experience. The graphic version stays loyal to the novel and makes the argument for preemptive war while conveying an abhorrence for violence. It definitely leaves the reader with more questions than answer...

Ender's Game is the third best piece of sci-fi/fantasy ever written according to NPR's Top 100 Survey that had 60,000 people voting. I freakin' loved this book. I'm a sucker for child soldiers. Ender's Shadow was sweet (It's about Bean) and Speaker for the Dead was pretty good too. Child soldiers...it's what we're training kids for with video games anyhow. Who needs robots if you have remote controlled drones?

I Inter-Library Loaned this book to see how well the book was put together and whether the content would be good for our library. Since the book has been made into a movie everyone has wanted to get their hands on the book. I have listened to the audio book version of the novel.I must say that the graphic novel (the Ultimate Collection of 10 comics) was quite good and followed the story line very well. The artwork was very colorful and also followed my personal vision. I was very comfortable wit...

A classic of science fiction presented in graphic novel format. While this will never be a classic in its own right, it is one of the finer examples of an adaption, making it a worthwhile read. Ender is a boy born to end a war against a barely understood enemy, and while this is the ultimate goal, the focus is spent on his time at school, what he learns, and the impact it has on him personally. The setting is Earth's own future, which is well portrayed by the palette of colours that was chosen.

I really did not like the art for these. It was hard to tell the kids apart, the weird glow and -- as another reviewer put it -- "bad CG" feel to it. This felt like a rushed mess. Like they just copy and pasted from different parts of a larger work and didn't care that it didn't make as much sense anymore. Certainly there were parts that if I hadn't read the book I would have been lost. I'm reading the rest of the comics in the Ender's Game world only because I'm a completionist and at this poin...

Ender's Game is a captivating novel with an intriguing storyline. It's a book of adventure and breathtaking surprises that make it really come alive. If you like action-packed stories, then read Ender's Game.The main character of Ender's Game is Andrew (he calls himself Ender), a young boy with powerful intelligence.

February 4- * review of the graphic novel, not the original text *>I love Ender's Game. Like, truly, wholeheartedly love it. I saw this at the library and grabbed it simply based on the fact that it was an adaptation of Ender's Game, expecting to love it and fall in love with the story in a whole new way. Unfortunately, I waded through 75% of it and didn't enjoy a single page. I tried to love it, but I couldn't even finish it because it was making me so upset. I'm so sad I didn't like this becau...
