The Forever War by Joe Haldeman

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


There is so much more to this outstanding sci-fi novel than what the synopsis lets on. While there is in fact a war being fought front and center, and a fair amount of technicality and military lingo to the writing, neither of these things really define this book. It's Haldeman concepts and his characters. The concepts are huge and even in the year 2011 seem really quite evolutionary in how they would change the life we know if applied. I thought the characters on a whole were fantastic. Most of them are soldiers but they all have distinctive voices and feelings. Without giving away to many secrets, the ending was absolutely perfect and was incredibly touching.
