Starship Troopers

There are a few things you can always count on in a Heinlein book. Women have equal if not more strengths as men. A lot of free thinking about sex and politics. This book does not disappoint there. Johnny Rico joins the military with his friend and because of a girl. He moves up the ranks quickly. Then a war breaks out and he has to really grow up. I kept getting the story confused with [b:Old Man's War 51964 Old Man's War (Old Man's War, #1) John Scalzi https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1487044882s/51964.jpg 50700]. It's obvious there that Scalzi read this book and used the aliens as type. Bug-type that is. LOL. I like some of Heinlein's other books better but this was enjoyable.
