embee007 's review for:

Old Man's War by John Scalzi
4.5
adventurous funny fast-paced
Loveable characters: Yes

"Welcome to the fucking universe! The universe is a fucked-up place, my friends."

I really enjoyed this. It was a fun read (should have been quick, but it was a rough month for me).

"The universe is a big place. Maybe we’re not in the best neighborhood."

I loved the prose & the characters.

“If I don’t come back, avenge my death.” “I’ll do as best as I can under the circumstances,” I said.

It does use a trope I hate though, which is kind of implied, but the characters even wonder how they'll manage it. Minor spoilers:
erasing/fixing disabilities.


Do not mourn me, friends
I fall as a shooting star
Into the next life.
