This is the sequel to "Ender's Game" which I totally loved, and which must be read first as the series opener. "Speaker for the Dead" is sci-fi that infuses some morality and a bit of religion into good old fashioned sci-fi that challenges what we now now about science in general and biology in particular. Piggies, Buggers, Humans....all living together peacefully? Is it possible? Nicely points out the fact that we can learn from those different from ourselves, and that all may not be as it initially seems. The last 100 pages of this book were fantastic: as good as "Ender's Game". The first 300 pages, though, are another story. Lots of time spent building characters and developing the setting. It was definitely interesting enough that I wanted to keep reading, but it wasn't the page turner I'd hoped it would be initially. The last 100 pages were good enough that I do want to read the next book in the series, "Xenocide". I gotta know....do the buggers and piggies and humans all unite against the Hundred Worlds Congress, or do their differences tear them apart and turn them against one another?

Liked this as much if not better than the 1st book of the series. I love these characters.

Marshall Karp’s third Lomax and Biggs novel, Flipping Out, is a wildly twisting mystery—and it’s as much of a guilty pleasure as those house-flipping shows on HGTV. Read the full review at http://www.nightsandweekends.com/arti...

Cullen sometimes takes on the killers' 'lingo', which is rather jarring to me (it's like watching an accountant paint). Otherwise, though, he has done a pretty awesome job of unravelling the motivations behind the Columbine High School shooting, and mapping the far-reaching consequences of the event.
Very amusing, kept me smiling when i wasn't cracking up.
Really a 4.5, but I'm stingy with my 5's. An entertaining and informative look at the early history of forensic toxicology, centered on two smart and hardworking men in the NYC Medical Examiner's Dept. Plenty of true tales of murder kept it more entertaining. My only quibbles: the author likes to keep two or three stories going at once, and repeatedly jumps from one to another, for no apparent (at least to me) reason, and it disrupts the flow--maybe she figures too much science at once will bore readers, so she keeps you waiting for the tales of murder (or not) to play out? And personally, I would have liked a little more of the scientific history. Reading this, you'd think that the entire history of forensic toxicology took place in NYC.

I picked this up at a hostile while backpacking through the South Island. It was funny and totally entertaining and I found myself wishing there were more books as good as that to be found in book exchange. Or at least some that weren't in German.
It was good in that it took turns that I didn't expect, but it was a little anticlimactic.

** spoiler alert ** Definitely didn't like as much as Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. I liked the cultural difficulty as daughters want to become Americanized. It's views on racism were thought provoking. In my life I've heard so much of Irish, Italian and Latino - but not the same of the Chinese - even having been to Angel Island. What I didn't like is Pearl's life is bookended by tragedy - her father gambling away their money so they are both sold to be wives. The rape of Nanking, the poverty of their new famly in America. Then the tragic ending - too much for me. Funny - Big Rock Candy Mountain also had an on-going tragic family, but they seemed to be growing through it all. The betrayal and death at the end was more salt in the wounds.
