Overall this was entertaining. I listened mostly while folding and putting away laundry and it was a nice way to spend the time. There were a couple of thing that I didn't like, though. First, although the voice actors were good, they were not age appropriate. Ender is only supposed to be around 6 or seven throughout most of this book and the actor was very obviously an adult. Also, many of the boys were voiced by women. While I understand that prepubescent boys have higher voices, I do not think that they necessarily sound like girls. That really really bothered me. I also didn't like that that was no narrator. The entire story is told through dialogue and I think the book lost a lot because of it. If I hadn't already read the book I don't know that I would have really fully understood what was going on in some parts.

Despite those things, I enjoyed this. If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can listen to this for free on Audible right now. If you've never read the book I would not recommend starting here. Read the full book or listen to an unabridged audio version first. After that, if you like the book, check this out.
