I felt from the beginning of the description of what the "god-spoken" had to endure that there was an underlying mental health component. As someone that deals with the particular disorder, I was able to recognize it immediately. I…

A great read. Excellent world creation with the World of Path plot-line. However, none of the books are accessible as the first. The philosophy could get cumbersome for younger readers.

This book was just as good as the first book of the series. Enders game was great but this one brought me more perspective on everything. I'm currently waiting on the last book of the series and hope he continues to create more for this…

Orson Scott Card doesn't disappoint. Sure the god-spoken were weird and there was a lot of science debates and Novinhas kids were all adult brats but everything had a reason up to the final scenes. Stick with this book and you'll be amazed…

Well, this story got...weird. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it. The mysticism/metaphysics at the end was a bit of a surprise, though. It's almost taking the series out of Science fiction and into fantasy.

Xenocide - My 16th Orson Scott Card book of which 13 are from the Ender’s family of books. I agree with the many of the comments expressed by other reviewers; good book but very complicated. Doctor-at-Bass-Fishing! Taylor A.

Not as good as the first two books, but still well worth reading. There's a lot more philosophy and consequently less action.

It took me quite a while to finish this book, not an easy read. It is the captivating storyline that kept me going and eventually finishing it. At times, it feels like the philosophical debate between the Father Tree, the Hive Queen,…
Started off well, but degenerated into pages of discussions on metaphysics that weren't even self-consistent. I definitely liked Speaker for the Dead better. The story is just becoming too unbelievable for me.

I loved the ethical dilemma of murder of a complete species to save the human race. The whole argument is played out amongst the adult step-children of Ender and his recently acquired wife. For those of us who are not biochemist and not…
Not as moving as Speaker for the Dead, but that's largely because it requires the next book, Children of the Mind, to complete the story-lines occurring in this book.
A great read nonetheless, just make sure you have the next book handy…

Xenocide ---- by Orson Scott Card c - 1992 ---- An O.K. story, it is hard for me to get into Mr. Card's work. Very Dry Writing. ---- You may like it ---- RichardPaul
