This book is about a young boy named Andrew Wiggin. Earth has been fighting Martians called Buggers.

Andrew is chosen to go to battle school and is shipped into space. But what awaits him there is hard and he ends up being very successful.
I thought that this was an excellently written book all around. The parts I liked best where when the author made you feel like I was there and experienced it. Also, This book was full of great description and kept me wanting more. When the author was describing the commanders I could develop a perfect picture of what they were like physically and mentally.

Andrew Jacobs / 20070811.10D.44748 / SML SkydiveI would recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of sci-fi or just likes action books. It is a great describer and has some funny parts, but also some bad language. I thought it was the best book I ever read, so I went to amazon.com to read some other peoples opinions. I wasn't really surprised as the average rating was 5 stars and everyone had nothing but good things to say about it.
