I've only read the first two books, Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead. I've read Ender's Game with a couple of after-school sci-fi clubs, and it's universally loved. Ender's Game is a great entertainment, and Speaker for the Dead is a great book, easily in my top ten. I haven't read the third, Xenocide or the fourth, Shadow of the Hegemon (which, from what I've read, is really the second half of Xenocide) and don't really have the time to go through them right now.
Ender's Game is one of my perennial rereads; it works well as a stand alone novel without reading any of the rest.
