Speaker for the Dead – a review

Meh.

Speaker for the Dead (1986) is a science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card and an indirect sequel to the novel Ender’s Game. …

Like Ender’s Game, the book won the Nebula Award in 1986, and the Hugo Award in 1987, making Card the first author to win both these awards in two consecutive years. …

Some fascinating concepts, but overall I found it too slow and philosophical to hold my interest. I won’t continue with the series.

Ender’s Game is a masterpiece, though.

    Make sure you try out Ender’s Shadow… I think you can skip ahead here without missing anything. Is Ender’s Game from a different perspective.
