If you’d find previewing the book first to be helpful, Amazon offers a “Read Sample” option if you select the Kindle version of the book on the website.

See if it's written in the first person? As for recommendations?

Is there a way to tell (when buying a book) if the story will be told to you (omniscient/indirect) vs from a character's perspective (first-person/direct)? I am finding that I prefer the latter.
