The first time I tried to read this book, I got so confused that I just stopped after the first couple chapters. My problem was that I hated reading the introductions and prologues. So, I did it right this time and read everything and boy did that help.
Andrew Wiggin is the speaker of the dead. He is asked to speak at a funeral on behalf of a girls father figure who was killed by the other alien race called the "Piggies" By the time he gets to her planet, it is 22 years later and she doesn't want him there anymore. He becomes involved with her family and trying to save the piggies.
The book is way better than how I can describe it. Not to mention, that you don't have to read Ender's Game to know what is going on in The Speaker for the Dead" It can be read as a solo book as well.
It really didn't take me 17 days to read this book. I started one book and my work had to do inventory so I had to return it before I finished it. And I was only 100 pages before the end of the 400 page book. Boo for that, yay for Ender! 4 1/2 stars
