Improves upon what made Enders Game great with better depth, world building, and character development. Fantastic read and probably the highlight of the Ender series.

I read this book in hopes of recapturing some of what I loved in Ender's Game. SotD did not recapture what I loved at all, It amplified it. This book does laps around Ender's Game and as a whole it's hard to believe they're written by the…

"Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card is the continuation of Ender’s game about the aftermath of the bugger war. The bugger war brought up a new voice, the Speaker of the Dead or Ender, who took it upon himself to explain the true…

Somehow better than Enders Game. But also nothing like it. It’s really it’s own thing. 10/10.

Starts off slow, but picks up speed as the story goes on. By the end, you will not be able to put this book down. Just as intriguing as Ender's Game, but in a different way.

Speaker for the Dead is a follow up to Orson Scott Card's “Enders Game”. It is the story of how Andrew “Ender” Wiggin learned to cooperate with alien life, rather than destroy it. In the first book, Ender learns to play a computer game…

I loved this so much. Ender, adult, hasn't changed one bit and the mystery and discovery of the whole story kept me reading. I know people say this isn't like Ender's Game and etc but if you don't expect action scenes over a mystery and…

When I attempted Speaker for the Dead for the first time back in 6th grade, shortly after finishing Ender's Game, I'll admit that most of it went over my head. I understood the basics of the Lusitanian colony life, the interactions among…

One of the best books I have read in years. I enjoyed it even more than "Ender's Game"

Very, very, very different from Ender's Game. More of an adult book. Could be considered a philosophical book.

I agree with several of the comments by previous reviewers. This book is very complicated, it started slow and it slowly picks up. The use of Portuguese and the lengthy and unfamiliar names at times further complicated the book. The…

Great book, it made me think a lot. Novinha and her children are unnecessarily mean, though, and the piggies creep me out.

This book was even better than the first book. Some of the philosophy and scientific ideas are exceedingly interesting.

‘Speaker for the Dead’ - Ender Book 2: great sequel to Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game. I’d like to recommend to my contemporaries, other teenage readers, two of Card’s teenage rated released books: ‘Pathfinder’ (2010) and its sequel…

I enjoyed the relationship between Ender and Human so much - they were by far the best pairing in the book. And I absolutely balled when Human was telling him "to come and sit in my shade and see the sunlight through my leaves, and rest…

Purely awesome. My favorite of the Ender's series so far. (Not including shadow books)

Wow. I just finished this, and I have to say that this is one of the most emotionally-engaging books I have ever read. I liked Ender's Game, but this book is on a whole different level.

Fantastic, smart read, the plot twists are masterfully timed. A very enjoyable and cerebral extension to the Ender series.

Powerful, engaging follow up to Ender's Game, in fact I think I actually enjoyed this novel more, maybe due to a more mature cast of characters. Some interesting food for thought on paradigms etc. Fantastic book.

I agree with other commenters, the plot was quite complex and, Unusyally, I had to read the last chapter so I could pick up the threads of the story to enjoy the book. It might have been better written if there was a prologue which gave…

An amazing read! The mysteries and revelations about the planet the story is set on are both interesting, and moving. This book focuses a lot more on the relationships between characters than the first book did.

This was a more complex read than Ender's game but still a very good novel that starts slowly but ends in a satisfying manner. I've read somewhere that people could read this without reading Ender's Game which I wouldnt recommend.
