Speaker for the Dead - Orson Scott Card

3

Speaker for the dead is the sequel to Ender's Game (which is one of the best and most well regarded Science Fiction books released).  While it is a sequel it is very different in style and subject, being less plot based and a lot more philosophical and analytical.  Its much more slow paced than Ender's Game, and the events from the first book aren't that important to the story.  Apparently it wasn't written as a sequel originally and was converted into one later.  I did find some of the characters a bit unbelievable, like they were being unreasonable just to ensure that there was some plot later in the book.  I didn't like it anywhere near as much as Ender's Game, but I thought it wasn't bad in the grand scheme of things.
