Historia
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

I felt like I was transported back to the 1800s. This is a classic and reminds me of Mark Twain and Tom Sawyer

Gets me to think what if…?
Revisado: 07-16-22
My brother suggested the MFTT series. I really enjoyed each of the books. You really connect with the characters. I though Mike Holster got what he deserved in the first book. You didn’t mind hating him. But in the 2nd book, you end up wondering if he would still be a killer and instead we see why he has these faults. We sympathize and then trust Michael. And by the end you love the character. I’m just starting book 3 and I’m planning on getting all twelve books in short time. Could you imagine what if…?

It’s ok ,not great
Revisado: 12-08-20
I had very high expectations for this sequel. The story felt like there where a lot of little cheats. And I felt like there where a lot of reminders of how things worked. For example how many times reminds us The ONI works and how things felt in the ONI. I know that the first book, does the same thing. It just feels too obvious. I felt like I was playing a video game set to easy with all of its cheat codes and infinite lives turned on. Sure you could play. But it’s not very satisfying.

Give this book a chance.
Revisado: 02-07-20
I read some of the reviews on this book and there were a lot of people saying the story is too slow and not really interesting. But on the contrary this was a great story, the rural southern setting reminded me of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Give this book a chance and I think it will become one of your all time favorite stories. I would recommend this book.

Don't judge a book by it's cover, funny &endearing
Revisado: 03-13-13
So l thought this was going to be one of those harlequin novels...Look at the cover. I would consider maybe changing the cover. I think that the only reason I even gave it a chance was that it was free. Thanks for Valentines day email Audible.
This short story was great. The main character Tess Maitland is a Chef from Chicago, who goes crazy and needs to take some time off. She spends some time down south and ends up sharing a home with a Vampire. Just like Edward Cullin.
This is a great story. Forget the cover and give it a chance you will love it.

I was on the fence,.but I made my decision read on
Revisado: 03-13-13
I got a ton of mixed messages from the other reviews. I wasn't sure if I even wanted to keep going with the series. I'm glad I did.
While I now understand some of the other reviews, I understand why some people where a bit disenchanted with Speaker of the Dead. Everyone was expecting this to be the next chapter in Enders life. But like another famous boy we all know ...Jesus Christ, we only got to know Ender Wiggins as a child.
In Speaker of the Dead, we fast forward to Ender as an adult, just like Jesus and his missing years. There are a ton of unanswered questions. No Ender didn't become a carpenter. Instead he became a Speak of the Dead. Basically, he was a homicide detective. He gave a voice to the dead. Oh I almost forgot. There's a twist.. Speaker of the Dead takes place 3000 years after the bugger war. Your probably thinking that Ender was a human being and how the heck is it possible that he's still around 3000 years later and he's only 30'ish.
Answer: Einstein's Theory of special relativity. Basically, if a person can travel at or close to the speed of light. For every year they travel, 100 years would pass on earth or something like that. So basically Enders been traveling the universe through time.
So after 3000 years Ender is no longer a hero, he's now basically like Hitler. After the war ended and time passed. No one named their kids Hitler and no one named their kid Ender. He was that hated. ...People are so ungrateful, he saved the world and now he's like Hitler. Earlier I said he was like Jesus. What a fall for Ender. Luckily by the end of the book Ender is able to reconcile what he did to the Buggers to a small community on the planet of Lusitania.
I will warn you that the story starts out a bit slow but its a slow and solid build to the story of Ender Wiggin aka the Speaker of the Dead.

Why we think it’s a great listen: It’s easy to say that when it comes to sci-fi you either love it or you hate it. But with Ender’s Game, it seems to be you either love it or you love it.... The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Enter Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, the result of decades of genetic experimentation.

Ender Wiggins supreme commander. And he's only 11!
Revisado: 02-26-13
This my first OSC book. Apparently this is an old story, OSC first wrote a short story in 1977, and developed it into a novel in 1985. And in November of 2013 it's being released in theaters.
This book reminds me of a movie starring Kurt Russell, "Soldier" released in 1998. A soldier raised from birth to follow orders. In Russell's movie, he becomes obsolete after serving his planet and is replaced by a newer and better model.
In Ender's Game, Andrew "Ender" Wiggins, is recruited at an early age of 5 years old to learn the ways of war. Similar to the way Roman boys where trained to serve Rome. Considering that OSC, Enders Game pre-dates Solider. The guy who wrote that movie must have read Enders Game when he was a kid and the movie had to inspired in spirit by OSC.
I love the fact that each character is well developed, there are so many of them that its easy enough to relate to one or two of them. Some of the other reviews said that this was a great series and as successful as Harry Potter. I just downloaded the Second book in the series. But if OSC is able to do repeat what he did in Enders Game then, expect to see a 4-5 movie series.
If your thinking of getting this book, you won't be disappointed.
