A review by chibiloki
Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 by L. Ron Hubbard

Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.

Battlefield Earth is rediculously long and boring. The premise of a post-apocalyptic world where aliens have taken over earth and small pockets of surviving humans fight them is interesting enough, but I was bored 25% of the way through and still bored by 50+%, so I stopped reading. The main character is such a Gary Stu who everyone worships, asside from the villians, one of whom is a disabled peer who hates him for imagined slights. There are no female characters to speak of, with those who do exist being damsels in distress who only exist to up the stakes for the MC and then are out of the picture. A few other nameless women show up to cook and such. Racial groups are stareorypes to the point of caricature. I'm so done with this book. There are so many higher quality, more interesting options to spend my time on.
