The Forever War

I feel conflicted. The writer part of me likes this book: solid plot, excellent world, and great pacing. But the reader part of me isn't a fan: no characters to grasp onto, multiple info-dumps, and plainly unenjoyable. Though, I did like the subtle romance in the book.

Even though I enjoy science fiction and fantasy books, I can tell this book isn't for me. The world was always changing and reminded me of Kurt Vonnegut's “Galápagos”. Even with “Galápagos” I enjoyed it. So why not this book? I have no idea.

Maybe it's just one of those books that I just don't like. To be honest, I skimmed through a lot of the ending. But it's not a bad book, just not a favorite.
