Old Man's War

As far as good summer reads go - this one hit the spot. Not the least bit challenging, but the character development was good (John is a compelling protagonist), and the main conceit was entertaining. As I was reading I got the feeling that this was “lite” space-opera, but that's fine. No need for pretense. This just wasn't as out there (for me, at least) as, for example, Iain Banks' work is.

I guess the measure of how much I liked this is to consider how likely I'll dip into books 2 and 3. The answer to which is “yes”.
