I found the book even more impressive than Ender's Game - even though I'm not totally convinced why the main character in this story has to be Ender, it would also have worked out with an other Speaker for the Dead. Nevertheless, I liked the story, felt suspense to find out about the Piggies and how the human conflicts would be solved.
At some parts, there was a little too much examination of Catholic religion for my taste. Why are in American fictions Catholics always rigid, superstitious and self-rightous?
