Product Description
In the aftermath of his terrible war, Ender Wiggin disappeared, and a powerful voice arose: The Speaker for the Dead, who told the right tale of the Bugger War.
Now, long years later, a second alien race has been learned, but again the aliens’ ways are weird and frightening…again, humans die. And it is only the Speaker for the Dead, who is also Ender Wiggin the Xenocide, who has the courage to confront the mystery…and the truth.
Amazon.com Review
Ender Wiggin, the hero and scapegoat of mass alien destruction in Ender’s Game, receives a chance at redemption in this novel. Ender, who proclaimed as a mistake his success in wiping out an alien race, wins the opportunity to cope better with a second race, learned by Portuguese colonists on the planet Lusitania. Orson Scott Card infuses this long, ambitious tale with intellect by casting his characters in social, religious and cultural contexts. Like its predecessor, this book won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards.

If Orson Scott Card had sex with his sister, he should write a nonfiction book about that. A lot of people could benefit from such a book, as it would help them cope and heal from the psychic trauma that incest causes.
And if he didn’t have sex with his sister, why does he write about a world in which everyone either does or wants to?

Despite what people are adage, this book really isn’t that fantastic. I mean it is okay, but don’t read it if you expect something like Ender’s Game. Some of it is very excellent and appealing, but the book is dull sometimes. It is worth reading if you really want to read it. Go to the library and check it out. If you did take place to read this book, whether or not you liked it, I don’t suggest reading Zenocide. I am waiting to get Children of the Mind, so I can’t say anything about it.

I am just on the very brink of finishing ENDER’S GAME, and I am so keen to read SPEAKER. As ENDER’S GAME is one of the most recommended Sci-Fi novels (to me at least) SPEAKER FOR THE DEAD has only been recommended to me once! Hmm, I really marvel why?

I’ve read a lot of Orson Scott Card’s books, and have permanently establish myself coming away from them a small frustrated. The thoughts permanently seem to be appealing, but end up getting lost in mediocre storytelling. Card dwells on the same unique thoughts so indefatigably, going back to the same well so regularly, that by the end of the book what I had originally establish unique now just seems hackneyed. And now that I’ve establish out Card is so candid politically with such (factually) fascist and discriminatory views, I don’t even want his books in my house. I’ve sold them online and donated the money to a worthy charity.
If you find Card’s tale thoughts at all appealing, I’d suggest the following authors for a more satisfying storytelling experience:
Neil Gaiman. Gaiman has the same unique flavor to his thoughts, but he also has the execution to deliver an incredible tale as well. His work is more on the fantasy side, like Card’s Alvin Maker series. The only problem is that Gaiman writes so few books that I find myself apt incredibly impatient waiting for his next tale to come out.
Stephen Baxter and Isaac Asimov. Asimov’s works can sometimes be a small less accessible then Card’s, but Baxter’s are not; they are just as simple a read. Both men are visionaries scientifically, and tell gripping, page turning tales. Both are sci-fi based, like Card’s Ender Series.
Stephen King. Most people groan when I say how much I like King’s writing, but universally I come to find out that persons people have never read his Dark Tower series, just his horror. The seven books that comprise the Dark Tower tale, widely considered King’s Magnum Opus, are a truly unique blend of equal parts fantasy, sci-fi, and western. Note these are not in any way like King’s horror writings, though once you’ve read the Dark Tower you’ll see characters from it turn up in ancillary roles in many of his additional books. The Dark Tower, like the Alvin series, is set is a world that is kind of our world, kind of not. The Dark Tower series is hands-down the best series I’ve ever read. Period.
I hope this helps some readers find some fantastic tales they may have otherwise not establish. Pleased reading!

I did not delight in this book, especially the beating of children and the adultery of Novinha. I didn’t know what ramen, raman, utlanning, and varelse were, either. Additional than that, it was an OK book.
