tmilligan 's review for:
Speaker for the Dead
by Orson Scott Card
This is a really good, albeit optimistic take, on the event of two foreign cultures meeting. Of course, given the identity and history of the main character, optimism is a nice change. I guess I will now go look up papers about connections between this book, Card's "Pastwatch", and his Mormonism, because surely someone's written about it. Anyway, the biggest problem with this book that I noticed (I'm sure there's more!) is that Ender is just so gosh darned good at everything. That, however, is the conceit of the entire series so I guess you just have to live with it to get to read about the problems of xenadors and Piggies - and I found that worth it.
Oh, and the ramen, varelse, etc stuff. That's good.
