Editorial reviews
With a full cast production, this highly-entertaining dramatization of the award-winning military science fiction story Ender's Game will wow fans as well as listeners new to this classic. Using an original screenplay written by Orson Scott Card himself, the audioplay takes listeners through Battle School with prodigy Ender Wiggin.
The cast fleshes out their characters with full personalities and motivations - in particular, the actors who portray the children at Battle School do a wonderful job in bringing out their precociousness and fading innocence. The action scenes are brisk and electrifying, and listeners will be swept up in the events of the story.

Fantastic story
It really helped hearing all the different voices. Complete shame that the movie wasn't as good as the book.

Great performance and Adaptation
The audioplay has fantastic production value, music, fx, and narration. Characters are fleshed out and given personality by their mannerisms and voice acting without the aid of a script. The plot of the book also flows well despite a narrator; Major Jayafi and Colonel Graff provide great exposition and narration within the context of their dialogue as they both conflict and resolve how best to raise Ender for his purpose in life.
Minor spoilers I do find it hard to believe young children could ever be so responsible and virtuous, geniuses and precose or not. The emphasis on their differing nationalities feels a little forced as well, except for Ala's which introduces the Arab concept of brotherhood and Bonzo's Spanish pride well into the plot.

Loses a lot of original perspective
Great performances, but the script left out some of the descriptions and I couldn’t really understand characters feelings or motivations as much as in the original book.

Great story paired with great performance
i love the depth of the story, the uniqueness of it. it leaves a lot to the imagination but in no way lacks necessary details for anyone to enjoy it.

Just a Random Person
This is a masterpiece, I truly felt like I was there with Ender and that the world was real. It showed me things a simple 1-hour long movie never could, keep up the great work and I look forward to more Full Cast Recordings.
