This graphic novel is a great addition to any library - students (especially students who are adverse to reading) will love it. The main essence of the story is kept, as well as some of the original wording/quotes, and some of the introductions from the chapters - which I feel is a great addition. However, students who truly loved the original novel will likely be disappointed. I only gave this novel 3 stars because, for me, it's like a book that has been turned into a movie and does not quite m...

As far as I can remember the comic follows the book faithfully, but I recommend reading the book too. The images in the comic should help with some scenes in the book, but the comic couldn't fit all the details, so the book is still the way to go. I'm not sure if I should compliment the scripter for the comic when Orson Scott Card is the real brains behind the Ender universe. Still, he deserves credit for doing such a good job of it.Andrew 'Ender' Wiggin has always been a special child, even aft...

Amazing read! While a Sci-Fi book, Orson Scott doesn't care to confuse us with "tech talk" and prefer to show us the development of a child genius in the Battle School.

Good Sci-fi story with decent supporting artLoved it, I end up reading Enders game every half a decade or so, this time around decided to give the graphic novel a shot and I was not disappointed. Of course, it is not as deep as the novels but does a fair job and the art although not glorious complements the storytelling with its illustrations. The plot revolves around children being trained to be soldiers and commanders from a young age for a fight against aliens. The story focuses on the traini...

Christopher Yost's interpretation of OrsOn Scott Card's Ender's Game was brilliant. The Book Ender's game is from the inside of Ender's mind, all his thoughts, Then the movie came out and that combined Enders Shadow and Ender's game and provided a third party storyline, and Now Yost has retold the story from the viewpoint of Col. Graff. I loved it , but keep in mind i'm a freak. regardless this was a good read.

No bookshelf for graphic novels...should probably start one. I LOVE Ender's Game, even tho it took me years of foot-dragging to finally agree to try it. Ender is such a conflicted little boy -- cold-blooded, soft-hearted, and a genius like none other. Is he 'the one' to save the world? The adults behind the scenes of Battle School are trying to find out. They try by challenging him, attempting to break him, isolating him, making him hated by all the other kids...all to see if he is the one.My he...

A nice rendering of Ender's time just before Battle School and then during part of the engagement. Artwork is crisp and efficiently used. People who have not read the novels may be a bit lost as this doesn't lay down enough backstory but does just fine for those who have read the book. Overall, solid good to very good work.ARTWORK:B to B plus; DIALOGUE/CHARACTERS: B to B plus; STORY/PLOTTING: B; SETTING/TONE: B plus; WHEN READ: early to mid May 2012; OVERALL GRADE: B to B plus.

Andrew Wiggin is only a young boy, but in the eyes of his world’s leaders, he may be humanity’s only hope. Decades ago, Earth was ravaged by invasions of swarming insect-like creatures and fought them off only by the skin of its teeth. What made the difference was superior command ability – a man who performed a miracle, a virtual inheritor of Alexander the Great. Although the skies have been silent since, all Earth knows that somewhere in the depths must be another insectoid fleet, a third inv

I decided to read this book because it was the only book on the prize-winners list that I had some interest in.A character I found interesting was Peter, Ender's brother. I really disliked Peter because of how ignorant and jealous he was of Ender. Peter was jealous because he wasn't selected for battle school and for not being as smart as his brother. Peter is power crazy and wants to be top of everything, and his anger only increased when Ender got higher and higher ranked.A quote I found inter...

Ender's Game is a science fiction novel and movie by Orson Scott Card. This paper will compare and contrast the book and the movie, which was produced by Gavin Hood. I will be talking about why I liked them as well as the book's overall theme, which in my mind was compassion. While the book gives more background information throughout, the book and movie have similar themes and follow the same storyline. For example, in the beginning, the book allows you to get to know Ender’s parents and siblin...

It's Ender's Game, so of course I love the story, but this graphic novel adaptation didn't do it for me. This covers the first half of the novel.I did find it interesting to get a visual rendering of the battle school and different characters, but I wasn't a fan of some of the coloring and the uniforms; they distracted too much from the characters. It became quite difficult to identify a boy or girl by their face while they were wearing helmets, and that happened frequently.The other obvious dow...

This was a good adaptation of the first part of Ender’s Game. Of course, it lacks the nuance of the novel, and I missed being inside Ender’s head and understanding his motivations, but the story still works as a graphic novel. The illustrations are beautiful and the text they chose is enough to understand the story without pages and pages of information. I haven’t read this story in a long time, and while I still love it, after being a teacher for nine years and working with actual 6-year-olds,

Loved it! This was recommended to me by a high school English teacher that I substituted for after I retired (early). She and I would pass notes back and forth when I subbed for her. She would recommend, I would comment and recommend another. One day she recommended this. I bought it and it stayed on the shelf for a very long time. When I learned they were making it into a movie, I took it down and read it. So glad I did! The movie did not do it justice. I wondered while reading it, how they cou...

I think the artwork is amazing, and it stays as close to the novel as it can. There are a few things here and there that I would have done differently, and I am not sure the story would be comprehensible to someone who has not read the novel first, but as a companion to the novel this is top-notch.I've been sharing it in class after we read chapters, and the kids love it :)

A quick way to revisit the world of Ender Wiggins. Very true to the original but the art style was not completely successful or satisfying. Character design made it difficult for me to tell one kid from another. The technology also didn't quite live up to my imagination. However it must be a near impossible task to illustrate a world and characters already engrained in the mind of the reader.

Maybe it was because this book was hyped up way too much before I read it but I was disappointed. I am rooting for none of none of the characters and Ender does nothing that makes me invested in his story. I will give Card points for the inventive twists the stories takes but overall I would not ever recommend this book

I read this trilogy strait through and can’t believe how much I enjoyed it. Science fiction is not my genre of choice but I devoured these. There was a gripping story line, well developed characters, and layered meaning. The series possibly warrants re-reading.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell which character is which. I relied mostly on armor color to identify characters. The action flowed well on the page. I haven't read the book, but I could still keep up with the story and not get lost. What's more, it piqued my interest in reading the book.

It was pretty fun to see this story in graphic novel form. The Art isn’t my style, but it’s a good visual reminder that Ender and all the people he interacts with are children. The battle school is filled with CHILDREN, and it is not a kind place.

Classic - loved this.
