Is it a classic?

Ender's Game is, but I didn't realize any of the sequels/prequels/parallels/whatever are.

Someone at the library told me "Speaker for the Dead" was "brilliant". I almost hit her. 

I read that Card only wrote Ender's Game as a means of setting up the book he really wanted to write- Speaker for the Dead.  After reading Ender's Game and finding it mildly enjoyable- though not the masterpiece in my opinion that it is in so many others, I decided to give SftD a try.  I couldn't get past the first few pages.  It had a significant impact on my brother, so I tried... but I just couldn't get into it.
