Don't bother with the pointless free sample. Unless you have read thé book itself it will make no sensé whatsoever. 20 pages of boring drivel about the author and how hé came to writé thé book. I still have no clue what thé book is all about. Complete waste of time.

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

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.
