It´s different from Ender´s Game in a number of ways, both in characterization and writing style. The changes feel natural, though, as Ender is now an adult. As such, his perspective has changed, his voice has matured, and this is reflected well in the narration.
I don´t want to give even the slightest hint of a spoiler here. Suffice it to say that this is not a carbon copy of Ender´s Game. It´s a fully realized story that packs a punch all its own, with great characters and fascinating twists. For science-fiction fans, this novel is an absolute must-read. I´d rank it with the Dune novels, the Red Mars trilogy, and the works of Harlan Ellison as the best I´ve ever read.
(Note: For the best price, go with the 4-book box set that includes Ender´s Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind.). And summed up by saying A Must-Read Novel. Currently Speaker for the Dead (Ender, Book 2) has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
