Review Detail

Reader reviewed by OY

Speaker for the Dead had a thousand twists and turns, but they all made sense! It is impossible not to like the book. It is really dense, though. Between the descolada, xenologers, pequeninos, and all of Novinha's family issues, it is a lot to juggle around. The story falls into place in a way you could understand it.
    Ender of course was an amazing character. Even though he's older, its easier to indentifiy with him after reading his story in Ender's Game. When he exposed all of Novinha and Libo secrets as he spoke for Marcao's death, I was absolutely shocked at Quim's reaction.
Even though Portuguese is hard to read aloud the names and words are pretty cool.
Definitely a good read if you aprecciated the previous book by Card.
