Wonderful collection of all four Ender's Shadow series books. Though I personally expected that I would prefer the Ender's Series to its Shadow Series counterpart, these books took a hold of me and didn't let me go until the very last page. Mr Card details a wonderfully complex and ever changing, yet easy to follow narrative. Having personally read hundreds of books, I have never recommended a series more strongly that I have the Ender's Game series. I have yet to read Ender in Exile, but plan on picking that up quite soon. Deep, political, emotional, philosophical, psychological, and religious questions are brought up here. Though Card is more conservative than I am, he offers a balanced perspective in his works. Most impressive, I felt, was how he turns thoughts into action, showing the growth of his characters and ensuring that you never feel like you're reading through the filler to get to the next good part.

Highly recommended for any reader, but particularly for those who want to make reading a more solid part of their life and haven't yet found that right book to do so with. This series did that for quite a few people I know, and I'm sure it could do it for you as well.

I found Enders Shadow to be highly entertaining yet skilfully written in an area where detail mistakes were so easy to make. The three remaining books continually show the deficiencies and fallabilities of all political and some religious systems.

Im very dissappointed with my purchase, i still havent recieved my package, its already been a month and a half since the order was shipped, im a very disatisfied customer, this will be the first and last time im ordering from here! thanks alot amazon.com for nothing!

Product was sent very quickly and undamaged. All the books are very enjoyable to read. Very enjoyable series following Ender's friends as they make it in the world after the bugger war. First books reads similarly to Ender's Game. Second book was made very enjoyable with the addition of the feeling that the main characters are playing very important roles in actually affecting the world, protecting and attacking countries. Subsequent books continue this trend and include more and more of Beans personal life.

Great way to get all the Shadow books in one place. Makes a great gift for the newbie Ender reader in combination with the Ender set.Paperbacks are of good quality. You won't be disappointed with this if you are considering it as a gift.
