Ender's Shadow was really good. It's just Ender's Game with the viewpoint of Bean which imo was just as interesting as Ender's Game. I never read Speak of the Dead however.


Ha, this was my same approach and where I'm at. But Ender's Game and Shadow are some of if not the best sci-fi books I've read. I'm really glad you brought this up actually because it makes me want to resume reading the series :)

Yea I know it's the one that follows the series, but allot of peaople has said i should read Enders Shadow before Speakers Of The Dead
And I hope they are good, cause i really liked Enders Game


From what my brother said, Speaker for the Dead is also a great book that's well worth the read. He recommended Ender's Game to me so I'll take his word for it.

I'm probably the only one who hated Ender's Shadow. It kind of tarnished my image of him a little bit after reading Ender's Game so many times.

If you get a chance, there's a book called Ender In Exile that's set before Speaker of the Dead, and after the end of the formic war. It's a fun, light read. If you don't really care about order, it doesn't really matter then =p

Same here :) I should be attaining it pretty soon and I know it's going to be just as good as the others, if not better then enders game and shadow.

Read Ender's game, then Ender's shadow, then Ender in Exile, then Speaker, then all of the other Bean books. The later Ender ones suck.

vouch this 100%
card basically runs out of ideas for all his characters and makes them pretty much the same, plus or minus a dick here and there.
