One of the best Sci-Fi writers of our time (in my opinion) talks at length about how to develop characters, and in the process, talks about story structure and narrative styles.

There's really no reason to read this if you're not an amateur writer. It's not like there's another Ender story in here for you Orson fans... but if you're interested in learning the craft of writing, this is a great book explaining narrative viewpoint and methods for making deeper characters that come to life.

This advice is great for those budding writers among us. It helped me recognize and deal with some problems in my own writing, hopefully it can do the same for you.

Definitely -- it's a quick read, too. You could get through the whole thing in like 2 or 3 sittings.
