Once you've read "Ender's Game" you must go on. There are two paths to take. One is "Ender's Shadow" (which my daughter read next), and the other is "Speaker for the Dead"(which I read next). It's such a thought provoking world to get into. All the books in the series aren't equally good, but they're good enough to be worth the time to get the whole story.
"Ender's Game" was a must read in my opinion."Speaker" is a world of people and feelings that has stayed with me eventhough I read it 5 years ago.A great series.

After reading Ender's Game, this next book was a must. It can, however, stand on it's own quite well. You get enough of the previous story to understand the book, and it's very engrossing. It's nothing like the first book, which I find refreshing.
The author actually wrote Ender's Game (the novelization, not the short story) with this next book in mind, and it shows. As good as Ender's Game is (and it is VERY good, so if at all possible, start with THAT one), you can easily see the care Card put into the concept of Speaker for the Dead.

Orson Scott Card is a masterful writer, and this is an engaging story. It's a far more adult story than Ender's Game, and it's got a lot more philosophy than action. But there are tons of fantastic ideas, and the core mystery pulls you along to the end.

Really liked this book. The mysteries made me want to keep reading. It took a couple chapters to get into, but I didn't want to put it down after that. If you liked Ender's Game you'll like this sequel.
