You'll enjoy it. I got a second hand copy at a book shop and I read it to just before the end and someone had ripped out the last few pages. I won't say anything else because its so easy to spoil Childhoods End - suffice to say the person who ripped out the last few pages was offended by it. Luckily I found a copy in the library and was able to read the ending. But the TV series actually does the big ending reveal quite well.
