I can't wait for Crystal City.

So only the first 4 are about Ender? Damn, that makes me mad that I ordered Ender's Shadow too.. I don't really want to read the same stuff over again, just from Bean's point of view.

it tells of the beginning of bean and genetics, etc. its good stuff. not just from perspective of bean, it includes lots of stuff that arent mentioned in ender's game. i think u'll actually get confused if u didn't read ender's game cuz it skips some parts.

The thing about the sequels is that they are a shift in style from the first. The series starts off with one of the best scifi stories ever, and then shifts more and more over to social commentary. I didn't think the sequals were horrible, but they didn't have the storytelling flair of the first one.
