3.0

I think I didn't get this one, and I didn't feel it gave me anything. It's supposed to be satire, but I'm not sure what exactly it's meant to satirize (I've read it's something to do with militarism in sci-fi or something). Also didn't find it particularly funny. The plot was engaging in the beginning, but the endless droning on about military training got monotonous in the end. Another book to cross off my to-read list, I suppose.
