In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut--young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training.
Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister.
Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives. "Ender's Game" is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
《 安德的游戏》这本书,在我第一眼看到封面的时候,我直觉是一本成人的专业书,而且是很不容易懂的那种。我对这种书一般是敬而远之的,因为自己水平有限,买了也看不懂,就不浪费作者的心血我的钱财了。后来,在豆瓣上看到书评,几乎可以用好评如潮来形容。从书评内容来看...
评分从科幻硬核、思想性、可读性等等诸多方面,安德系列都达到了一个前所未有的高度 非常精彩的(天才儿童的出现、游戏的结果和屠异的前提,霸主的重生),引发思考的(豆子的命运,安德的来历,安塞波的主人,猪族星球上的生态悖论和人类暴动的简单模型,虫族女王和树的意识交流...
评分这真是一个残忍的故事。一群大人为了所谓的“爱国爱乡爱地球“的拯救人类的英雄情结,把一个几岁大的小孩心中残暴的一面引诱出来,继而培养他成为”人虫“大战的总司令。可是这场战争真的有意义吗?虫族已经不再挑起战争,而人类或是为了安心,或是为了安抚地球动荡不安的情绪...
评分蕴含了巨大的处世和自省自勉的能量,抱着书躺在床上废寝忘食了几天--我看书慢,看好书更慢,总有太多让我折过来回味的地方~细节也很丰富,主人公的心理描写也相当成功,最关键的还是节奏一流啊!所以常常被我用来送给好友,买了好几本,还是觉得不够...
评分一部很精彩的小说,讲述了在人虫战争背景之下的几个少年天才的成长过程,其中以安德为小说的主人公,安德以他超乎完美的天才能力——我个人认为他已经差不多接近上帝了——克服了诸多几乎无法克服的困难,艰难之极,最终成长为一个天才的军事指挥官,指挥地球的舰队以弱胜强击...
读完了Kindle版,是第二遍读这部作品了。这部作品有时会被称作青少年读物的原因是因为你应该在青少年时期读完它
评分一直对科幻小说无感啊。
评分不敢相信这是1985年的小说,两天一口气读完。结尾处Ender发现Hive queen为他建造的巨人遗迹和end of the world那段,真是让人无法不为之动容。心理游戏的设定很赞,超鸡爱wolf children的那段。很奇怪居然木有人给我推荐过!!
评分没有传说中的那么神拉。。
评分买不起中文正版书,网上的译本又不咋地,就用kindle整了本原版来看看~绝对的简单易懂,生词量很少(全书共透析出300词左右),句式不复杂,篇幅适中,乃入门级透析小说~主角光环太迷人,怎么能有Ender这么伟大与温情并存的人呢……有说该书是三体三部曲的镜面对照,相当有道理~
