Pretty powerful ending.Good buildup of suspense using unknowns.Two people (or species) can look at the same action and see completely different motivations, have different backstories or automatic scripts for the action.
fucking AWESOME!
Since I'd already read Speaker for the Dead in paperback, hardcover, eBook, and audio, I figured I should complete the cycle and give the graphic novel a look.So from a completist perspective, it was worth it. Apart from that, I don't have much to say. I'm not at all sure the story is coherent, truncated and more or less butchered as it is. It solidifies my fear that any film adaptation would be likewise incoherent (which is why a limited series is a better idea).Also, the artwork for the piggie...
the fastest and easiest way to get a crash course of what happened in the "speaker for the dead" book. it felt kind of choppy and rushed, just as the movie for the first book, but for my purposes it was perfect. now i'm up to date again and can finish the ender saga!
A wonderful follow-up to the first.
Enjoyed this much more thanEnder in Exile, partly because I found Ender and the other characters to be much more relatable.
Speaker for the Dead is a difficult book. Like its prequel, Ender's Game, this book poses moral questions to which I have no answer. I don't know if I could have chosen the same thing Ender did, and at the same time I see the drawbacks with choosing differently. It's a question that haunted me and drew me back to the book to read again, and again.One of the ideas that compelled me most upon my first reading of the graphic novel was Catholicism on an alien planet. It ties Earth and Lusitania toge...
Read my full review hereIn this review, I am going to talk about the second book in the Ender series – The Speaker for the Dead.speaker for the dead.Before I get into the review, I wanted to mention the story behind how this book came into existence.Now, back to the Speaker for the Dead.This book is remarkably different from the first one in the sense that while the first one focuses a lot on the action and adventure the second book explores the philosophy of what it means to be alive. It questi...
This isn't a bad adaptation by any means, but so much of the story's dialogue and character development is ommited that this series pales in comparison to the novel it was adapted from.
This is the graphic novel of the third book in the Ender Quartet, Speaker for the Dead. Ender Wiggin is going to Lusitania to speak the deaths of Pipo, Libo, and Marcao, but there is more going on that just the speaking. Strife has broken out between human colonists and the native Pequeninos. The one who once wiped out an entire species, might be able to bring back that species, as well as prevent another one from being destroyed.It followed the story of the book pretty well, but the book is muc...
I enjoy the saga started by the first book but this second book was hard work. Very original concepts though. I am not sure if I will be able to read the next book in the series after this.
Love this story, it is full of hard questions, on what it means to be alive, moral dilemmas faced in a futuristic world, a world with multiple aliens species and on what we perceive to be sentient species.Although a standalone it is a direct continuation of Ender's Game: Ender In Exile & part of the Ender's Game, Volume 1: Battle School“The truth sets you free.”“Yes, but it can feel like being torn to pieces.”This book while being a continuation of Enders Saga is very much different from the ori...
Speaker For the Dead #1-5 by Aaron Johnston, Orson Scott Card, Pop Mhan (Illustrator), Veronica Gandini (Illustrator)Impressive interpretation-adaptation of a brilliant story. Stays true to the original tale……Speaker for the Dead #1“You didn’t see her eyes, Jane. There was pain and guilt there.” – Ender“And what do eyes like that look like?” – Jane“Mine, Jane. Her eyes look like mine.” – Ender..Speaker for the Dead #2“Since we are not yet fully comfortable with the idea that people from the next...
So much better than the original edition. I was frustrated reading the original Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card, a sequel to the outstanding Ender's Game. The book had a great payoff, but the first three-fourths of the book was so slow and painful to go anywhere that I nearly didn't complete it.This graphic novel seemed to find a way to condense, speed up, and make all that was painful about the original novel into a really enjoyable read. The one downside is they wound up leaving one o...
Awesome book!
Very hard to live up to Ender's Game, but it definitely was a unique plot and setting
