dude... rad...

whoa so i read the first chapt of Speaker for the Dead, and dead they were... right off the bat, in the first chapter. there's these 2 people one's an alien, and both of them get there guts ripped open... IN THE FIRST CHAPTER!!! they were the main focus of the first chapter too, so you get that feeling of "oh i imagine these 2 chars are prolly the main chars of this book" but NnNnNnNnOoOoOoOoOoOo... their DEAD now... not too IMPORTANT ANYMORE!!! the book also goes incredibly fast... i'm on chapt 5 or 6 and it's already 25ish years after the event of the first chapter... it's kinda weird
