Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - sci-fi perfection!
I happily happened apon "Ender's Game" when my daughter had to read it for her high school Honors English course. I fell so completely in love with the story that I promptly tore through the rest of the series. "First Meetings in Ender's Universe" is like finding the carmel in the center of the chocolate candy. The "Ender's" series is delectable all on its own, but this just makes it absolutely scrumptious!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Juvenile fiction that's passable for Ender's universe
A collection of short stories set around characters in Ender's universe. Card couldn't think of enough new material, so he "Reader's Digested" the original novel to have enough pages to print. Some of the other stories are interesting, but nothing really above average. It's an ok addition to round out a bit more of a picture of that universe, but nothing special.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - First Meetings
Greater elaboration of the characters and situations that play in the series of Ender books.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Interesting with some repetition
I enjoyed reading this group of short stories about the original meetings of various characters in the Enderverse. Some of the stories give a bit of insight into characters that weren't previously revealed. My only gripe, and it's a small one,is that if you already have read the other books in the series some of these stories are either a retelling or are verbatim the same. Of course, if you're a fan, rereading those is like visiting an old friend.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 2010 My Kindle Comment on 1st Meetings
This was my 1st exposure to anything Ender. It is as brilliant as the good reviews suggest. Two comments. It is not "dated" in any way but feels fresh and relevant in 2010. Secondly it appeals to youth on one level and to our adult intellect on another. The reader will enjoy this regardless of age.
