Old Man's War

This was a lot of fun to listen to (I audiobooked it). The writing is packed full of humour, and the imagination of different species and technologies is vast. I'm sure that if I continue with this series, there will be no end to the humour and imagination.
But I tend to lean towards books that make me think a little more; where the unique ideas aren't simply creative ideas about possible alien species, but ideas about new ways of thinking. Also, it was altogether too rah-rah military for my liking. The lightheartedness made that bearable, because it felt like a sort of spoof on Starship Troopers, but in the end, the military ideals and action focus that I'm not too big on was prevalent.
I was looking for something to listen to which would fill the void in my life in all the months between James S A Corey's Expanse novels, but this fell a little short for me. The moral complexities, character development, and level of detail in the Expanse are far superior to what this story offers. Though I enjoyed the style of the writing, I just didn't care too much about the story itself.
