The Forever War

4 ⭐️s

I really enjoyed this one. The descriptions of the tech and time dilation were fun. I honestly liked Will for the most part despite his personal hang ups on a few things. I appreciate the fact that the violence/war wasn’t glorified. The changes Earth went through over the course of the story were fascinating. There were a few things I rolled my eyes at, but they’re mostly products of the time the book and author come from.

*SPOILERS*

I saw the ending coming about halfway through. The Taurans seemed too inept to be an actual threat. But the clones were a surprise. I was extremely pleased with the happy ending for Will but the implication that people could just switch between hetero and homosexual when it suited society’s needs definitely got on my nerves.
