What a boring bookby onalake1

August 04, 2009: Except for the first and last chapter, it is all about boot camp as a space marine. I was very disappointed in the book. I couldn't wait for it to end. There were some great discussion points made by the class room instructor that are worthy of lengthy discussion but overall I read this as quick as possible after getting half way through and realized there is almost no combat action at all.

October 30, 2008: Starship Troopers was an interesting read. There was not a part of it that bored me. While the characters aren't deep emotionally, their actions give them depth. Conversely, most of the plot is about human nature and the actions are used to drive it. While Starship Troopers has action and is action driven, I wouldn't recommend reading it for the action. I would read it for the messages and ideas that are clearly presented through the actions and conversations of the characters.
