A review by montysmith
Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card

3.0

Objectively, this is probably a better book than Ender's Game. The characters are more varied, the plot line is less obvious, and it's subject matter is more broadly philosophical. Unfortunately, it's just not very much fun. I can't say I didn't like it; it was good enough to keep my interest, and Ender is still a great character. But for me, it's not the page-turner that Ender's Game is.
