esmithumland's review against another edition

reflective

- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
2.5
I understand why and how this book was important in the history of sci-fi and I would even call it well written but I kind of wish I hadn't read it. Man this guy had a lot of weird ideas about punishment, control, democracy, masculinity, and especially women. I didn't look enough into it to know if it's supposed to be a satire or commentary on the military, but I feel like now I don't have to read any real military biographies or history because this felt just like the real thing. Nothing new, important, or exciting here.
