Ender's Shadow is the First book in the Shadow series. This first book is our introduction to the Main Character "Bean", and it unfolds the story of his life as it lies parallel to Ender Wiggin's in the book Ender's Game. Bean's story is unlike any other in the Ender/Shadow series. He is a Very different character from Ender, but you will love him all the same. The immense amount of intelligence, courage, personality, and strength wrapped around Bean's character takes him from the pages of the book and makes him real. The reader will want to be part of Bean's life, and his world. If there were ever a character in Sci-Fi history that could come close to the love we have for Ender, it would be Bean. What amazed me most about this book and all of the Shadow Series, is how the characters become you. You hurt when they hurt, you laugh when they laugh. You always want to look out for them, help them, and destroy their enemies. It's almost like you can't help but get emotionally involved in their lives. The Story line keeps you hooked till the very last word. I would suggest having the next book ready at hand, because you will want to go strait from one to the next.Read full review

This is the first of a parallel series to Ender's Game. I'd reccomend that you read Ender's Game first, but it's still an amazing book by itself. If you thought Ender was awesome, wait till you get to know Bean. All in all, great book. Orson Scott Card is amazing at digging into how people think and using it to propel his storylines.
I purchased this product for my 14 year old son who had previously read Enders Game for a school assignment. He really wanted to read this book and I didn't have the time to search book stores for it so I went to my old stand by Ebay. Was very happy to find that I could get it on line for a reasonable price.
If you're looking at this book, you probably know what it's about, so really all you need to know is that its an excellent alter-story to the Ender's Game series. Both have multiple books, all of which show how the two main characters lived after the Third Bugger Invasion.
