Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
My rating: 4 out of 5
My review:
A worthy continuation of Ender’s journey. In a way it actually makes Ender’s Game better in that it creates proper reason for him to continue living. A powerful thought to speak the lives of the dead, as they lived them. The books keeps you guessing in some ways and in others it is crystal clear and the characters in the book are the only ones guessing. I also loved the Portuguese bits here and there.
So who would I recommend this to? People who liked Ender’s Game obviously (even though this book is dealing with completely different scenarios), people who like behavioural research and anthropology. People who like to ponder why we do things the way we do and what evolutionary needs made us the way we are,
