Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
4.0

There. Are. No. Words. This book is beautifully brilliant and heart-breaking. I got very emotional reading this. My problem is that I get so attached to each character! I cried along with them, and I got angry with them. Sometimes I got so frustrated or upset that I wanted to throw my Kindle at the wall, but I beat a pillow with my fists instead. Seriously, this book impacted me. I could not put it down, and I forgot to eat a meal b/c I was so absorbed in reading.

I had heard that this one was preachy, but I only noticed one scene in the book where it seemed a little preachy, and it wasn't a long part. Didn't bother me, and I thought the things that were said were NEEDED to explain the motivations and further story of the characters.
