Book: STARSHIP TROOPERS ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Okay, now I understand why purists of this novel absolutely hated, hated, hated the 1997 movie version, described by a friend as “90210 in space”. It’s also understandable why it’s on the recommended reading lists for the military academies and the U.S. Navy’s Navy Reading program (an interesting list which also includes Ender’s Game). It’s incredibly detailed, and for me, incredibly turgid and boring. Obviously, military science fiction is NOT my thing. (E.g., I enjoyed Ender’s Shadow - which was less military oriented - more than Ender’s Game.)
