I bought John Scalzi's Old Man's War not expecting much. The book turned out to be a one trick pony in terms of what made the title plausible, but the writing was good, and when I learned that there was a second book, I picked it up warily. It was better than the original. Then I found that there was a third book, and I picked it up too, a little more quickly.
Yesterday I saw the latest book in the series, The Human Division, had come out. I immediately picked it up. I didn't even look at it. I just picked it up. And now I am reading it.
I keep thinking get better please get better please get better.
Loved old mans war!! Reminded me of heinlein.
ReplyDeleteI agree. And the successor novels are even better.
ReplyDeleteExcept for this one.... which reads like fan fiction.
