Yes

This book/series has been on my list for a very long time...don't know why it took so long to get to it. I enjoyed this book even though I figured out parts of the "end of the game" long before the title character. However, it wasn't until the final couple of chapters that the whole story came together and parts that I thought were insignificant were actually monumentally important. Great read and one that can be shared and enjoyed by children and adults alike.

quick answer, yes. no. no.

This is a great read. Orson Scott Card created an excellent story and a wonderful cast of characters. You don't want it to end. I am looking forward to listening to the other books in this series

The audio version of Ender's Game was both better and worse than the print version for me.
It was better because it allowed me to get through the story while doing other things like chores or shopping. However, it does not allow you to change the pace of your reading like you can with a print book. You can't really let the dramatic scenes sink in before the story continues or speed up when your anxious to find out what's next.

My favorite character was Ender because he was just really well thought out and portrayed as both an innocent child and a genius at the same time. He was just a really well thought out and layered character that seemed to react to the different situations he was put into in a very real way.

The readers voices really portrayed the characters well and they allowed me to really understand how the characters would sound throughout the story. Additionally, they portrayed the emotions of the characters really well.

This is a phenominal story and performance. It moves along so fast but never feels rushed. I was truely captivated by the story and characters to such a degree that I finished the whole thing in two days then went and bought the second one.

The performance is also great. There are parts where it shifts characters or perspective and the actors make sure you know the change was made. This is one of the best performances I have heard to date.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend. I found the story to be very thought provoking and enjoyable. So unique that the main characters are so young, yet if the author didn't reference the character's ages I would never have guessed them to be younger than 12.

My favorite character was definitely Ender. He was so complex and at the age he was this completely fascinated me.

I think my favorite scene had to be when Ender's army battles two armies at once.

Yes, however the narrator changes were sometimes disjointed and caused my interest to drop for a bit.

Sometimes the narrators speak very lowly and it was harder to understand what they were saying. Overall excellent story and enjoyable listen. Will definitely listen again.

Absolutely! Yes! The story feels fresh and new, with characters that I cared about, cheered for, hissed at and wanted to see through to the very end.

I hate to give anything away in a review, but the final game scene was a kind of hold your breath through the entire chapter sensation.

It's quite a toss up between Ender and Bean when deciding which character I liked the most. I lean toward Bean because he's the underdog's underdog, the guy behind the star of the show, the additional perspective that helps the listener really know what's going on.

I needed to absorb and rehash some of the story between listens. There's so much action that goes on, and so many characters that I cared about in different ways. I found myself wanting to think about it almost as much as I listened to it.

I'm not usually one for reading SciFi. But, I couldn't help but compare Ender's Game to current YA fiction like Hunger Games and even Harry Potter. I'm looking forward to reading or listening to more of the series.

The story and writing were great! The performances were amazing! It's not often that I listen to an audiobook and love the voices but I loved the voices of Stefan Rudnicki and the lady that voiced Valentine. I loved the sound of their voices, the way they said things and the feelings they communicated with their voices. The whole thing was just terrific! I couldn't put it down!

Great Book! Great Story! Great Listen!

Characters were excellent and the story was wonderful!

Entire Book was great!

I read this novel about 8 years ago and found it to be very good. But when I took the chance and listened to it, I was blown away. As Card tells us in his explanation of the novel, he wrote it to be told ALOUD, so his writing lends itself to a narration.
I believe that pairing reading of the novel with listening to it is the best way to grasp the depth and complexity of the story. This novel can appeal to the young adult or mature reader. The details, the entire world that Card creates, makes his story believable. It is not science fiction that is so entirely foreign that we cannot relate to it. Instead, it provides us with a frightening and thrilling concept of a future that we may one day experience. Or perhaps I should say, a future the we hopefully never have to experience.
