This is one of my all-time favorite books. I read it when I was 15 (despite a general disinterest in the Sci-Fi genre, which persists today)and it suddenly clicked for me that there are some real gems out there--gems, which, if I never read them, will never be able to touch me the way only great books can. I'm not saying this is the next Illiad, but that it's just a d*amn good book. It made a reader out of me. I've read it two more times since I first picked it up, and I love the series as well (though I prefer the way Card ended it before he began writing the Bean novels). I've also OWNED this book more than any other, to be given out to those in need of a good book. If you haven't read this, pick it up and you won't look back.
If you're still unconvinced, let me just add one more thing--Orson Scott Card is a master with the worlds he creates and the characters inhabiting them. Since Ender's Game, I've read quite a few of his books. You truly do fall in love with the characters. And you find yourself desiring to jump back into the world he created no matter what you're up to. Enough said. I could go on and on, but I think this covers it. Have fun if this is your first Card book (as it should be).
