Not quite as good as Ender's Game; this book is better if you don't really think of it as a sequel. The characters are gripping, the plot perfectly paced.
I was a bit worried when I picked up this book whether I would enjoy it as much as Ender's Game. I had read mixed reviews of this book, most indicating that it had gone off on a very different direction, some liking it and some not. However I have to say that, in my opinion at least, this is every b...
I love this book/series. It's one I pick up to read every so often, and each time, find it a powerful, thought-provoking read. Now I've got an itch to read the rest of the series again too!

In fact, "Ender's Game" wasn't even a novel at first, it was merely a short story that had to be expanded into a novel to serve as a prequel to "Speaker for the Dead". As much as I respect his writing abilit...
If I could give this book six stars, I would. [On re-reading it: This book was just as powerful for me the second time, but different. I'm older now, yes, but also, the first time I sped through it like a crazy person, needing to know what happened. This time I already knew all the answers, so it ...
I really liked Ender's Game, but I was disappointed in this one. I just didn't like the direction that Card took in this one. It was a little out there for me. I understand some of the things he was trying to say, but the story just put me off. I didn't find Ender's love interest all that likable ei...
