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

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.
