The Forever War
Unfortunately, I have not received the novel from Amazon yet. I did however, research the journalistic novel. I found a review from a writer from The New York Times. The article, like most from the New York Times, is tedious and long. I uncovered what I thought the writer felt about the novel-- and it seemed he was extremely moved. In the begging of the review the writer spoke of the past wars and compared them to the one that The Forever War covers. He contrasts a lot-- and praises the writer for telling a story that other can learn from. Because of the review, I am looking forward to reading the novel-- the main reason being, I feel very ignorant and view to the war in Iraq and wish to know more.

I almost chose The Forever War for exactly the same reason! You're a lot braver than I am though, because I chickened out and chose a different book. I always feel like I'm very "out of the loop" when people talk about the wars we're involved in, and now you'll definitely know all about them. I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to finish the book in time... all 43270843 pages of it! :)
