A review by kitaabinomad
Old Man's War by John Scalzi

3.0

A satisfying science fiction book. I believe if I had read this book when it was first published, I would have enjoyed it a bit more. Due to the movie like "Avatar" and the TV show like "Altered carbon", the concept of a new body for a mind seems familiar. However, apart from this similarity, this book stands on its own. There are not many surprises in the book, even when there are some, they are not very effective. But I must say that the pace and the writing of the book are very good. I was actually surprised by how quickly I got done with it.
