Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott CardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Beautifully constructed story with layers of symbolism and themes that questions the meaning of "human". Every character in this novel is so unique and has their own fully fleshed out plot line. Orson Scott Card said that this book is even more important than its prequel Ender's Game and I have to agree. While Ender's Game explores the psyche of one young boy who is supposedly destined to be a savior, Speaker for the Dead explores the minds of various people in an isolated and highly regulated community who have to come to terms with their mistakes and their consequences.
