This book isn't filled with heaps of descriptive detail. I don't think it even says what colour Ender's hair is. In saying that, it does describe battles, emotions, and all that is going on in the protagonists' heads incredibly well. I really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to starting the next.

It does not let you have a sample of the book itself, rather, it shows you the introduction of the book overall. This only includes what the quthor thought and how he came about writing the book and how hard it was for him/her.......do not read it unless you know you like it as you would have to buy it to be able tovread the book

A genius idea, fantastically brought to life by the author. Rightly one of the most revered works in sci-fi fiction. It raises complex moral issues, it has magnificent action sequences, and is accompanied by an excellent film. Well worth a read.
