I just finished book 1 and now I'm getting info "speaker for the dead" and I'm having a rough time actually getting into it... seems that its starting off rather slow and it doesn't start off where the 1st book left off.. has anyone else read this series?

im a huge fan of the series, i actually have an original copy of that book as well as shadow of the hegemon. my advice : stick with it, it gets really good later on bro. also there is one you can read that fills in the missing years before speaker for the dead, when i find out the name ill post it, it takes place from the end of the war to when he finds the hive queen egg

I just finished book two and wow.. I was blown away.. I'm already into book 3 and I'm waiting for ended to destroy the stairway Congress

amazing isnt it? goes from boring as hell to badass within like three chapters the plot realllly picks up. it riveted my atention span in place and i couldnt stop reading it untill i was done.

Speaker for the Dead is my favorite out of the series. But sadly, all the rest suck in comparison. I read all eight (both quarters of Ender/Bean). Shadow was okay. But yeah, basically after Speaker, just stop. No more Ender The Bean series was better overall (aside from Ender's Game and Speaker).

I agree with you on this one. I prefer the parallel series with Bean as well, but the original Ender's Game is still my favorite.

If you liked this series you should try reading The Tales of Alvin Maker series as well.

+1 for the books about Bean.

Favorite book of all time is enders game great book



THIS

books 2-3-4 are way different pace than the first book

i actually like the side storys more, about bean and peter and earth and recently i found the book that is the time in between enders game and speaker for the dead i cant for the life of me remember the title tho
