A review by jayraams
Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 by L. Ron Hubbard
1.0
TLDR It's boring to long and racist as hell. Do Not Read.
How this has an overall rating of 3.5 I do not know. This is the most daring driple I have ever had the misery to listen to. I am so sorry for the Narrator 47hours 32 minutes of crap. This is very racist for a book about the world coming in together and saving the world. I wanted to write a scathing review but can't be bothered to waste more time on this dumb book. So let's just dot point.
•Racist, so racist
•It is so sexist, even the aliens are sexist. Ei weman are only secreteries and to dumb for to do mathematics. Chrisy and Paddy are two dimensional damsales in distress
•All aliens are human aristocrats, unimaginative also they kept saying they evolved from earth animals it ridiculous
•Children think the same as adults, also using a child's death to justify the hero doing terrible things.
•Capitalisum saves the day. What the Fuck
•Endlis descriptions of places and people, the author says at the start of the book her is such a good writer and that he didn't edit the book and you can see that it wasn't edited. I honestly don't think it would have helped but still.
•The books starts also with a justification of why this is definitely Sci-fi and yes technically it is but if your Sci-fi is a thinly veiled allegory it isn't good.
If I could give it a 0 I would it doesn't deserve to be called a book.
OMG
I thought I had finished but No it's still 2 hours to go.
