Let me start by saying this was a very strong book and normally I would have given such a well-written novel 4 or 5 stars. But I can't do that. I struggled reading this book, and it took me 3 times as long as it should have to read. I honestly don't know why this is the case. But it is definitely worth reading. I'm looking forward to continuing the series to see how Ender's story progresses.
Not the biggest fan of this book but it each successive book in this series makes the previous look like Shakespeare

I have to say I enjoyed this one much more than -Enders Game-, there didn't seem to be as much filler. It is strange though because, Card comes up with these really cool sci-fi ideas but then writes his characters so well and fills the situation with such human emotion that the cool ideas get kind of overshadowed. I really like both aspects but for some reason they don't add up and blow me away. So in the end this is the kind of book that I would enjoy on audio but wouldn't really want read in book form (over a period of 4 or 5 weeks - at my speed).
The next book is available on audio so I'll probably listen to it sooner or later but I'm not super excited about it.

While not as good as [book: Ender's Game], Speaker for the Dead was still good. I was sort of disappointed by the end, since it clearly just sets up the next book in the series, without really progressing the core storyline of the series all that much.
