Editor 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.

Another way to enjoy an already perfect story.
I've watched the film 3 times and read the book 3 times. Now I've listened to the audio play.
Each one offers a slightly different insight into the characters. Here you'll begin to understand Bean more. His backstory and capabilities put a very different weight on the actions of the adults.
Obviously some parts aren't as good as the book. But getting so much world and character building in through only conversation was an exceptional experience.
I really loved this.
Give it a try!

excellent. farsighted
I read Enders Game when it was first published and it has always stayed with me. The audible dramatisation does the book justice. Oerson Scott Card. has amazing insight into the complex human condition.

this has been the best rendition of any book I have listened to and is worth sitting down to for a full story.

A good adaptation of a great story
I very much enjoyed the audiobook version of "Ender's Game", so I was keen to get this play version too. After reading other pretty negative reviews, I was worried the acting would be very wooden. However, I was pleasantly surprised- whilst the acting is not up to the standard of some of the finest radio examples, like Ian Holm's Frodo in the BBC's Lord of the Rings, I found it to be perfectly adequate. The adaptation of the book to a play script was also very good, such that I think someone who has not read or listened to the original will also be able to enjoy the play.

Great first experience in audioplay
Read the book before but an audio format like this felt like a good fit to revisit this story. Looking forward to the adaptation of the other books.
