WHAT!!!! It's not horrible, it's amazing. And Hilarious!
I'll admit I did find myself cracking up at times, but other than that it's just boring.
Anyways, I returned it to the library today and checked out Brave New World instead. [/b]
It's one of my favorite books - Milo is the quintessential war-profiteer!
I think just the time-line of the book is hard to figure out at first. Generally I think with fiction it takes about 100 pages to actually get into the flow of it.
I suggest trying it again the next time you have some frree-time like over the holiddays. I think all the stuff about the military man-power being streached-thin and upping the number of missions that people have to go on would be extreemly relevant at this time when similar things are happening in Iraq.
It also shows that people were fed-up and hated even the so-called "good war".
I thought the book was great and scarry and funny... ironically I never finished "brave new world" because I couldn't get into it.
