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

3.0

Got better as time went on, but the first hundred pages were something of a slog of setting up the moving parts that would be involved later on. Excelled once it started to get into the action, but honestly I preferred that less to the more moral questions that underpinned the conflict in the book. It was engrossing enough that, by the time I reached page 200, I burned through the rest of my copy over the course of the night, and felt satiated by it. I'll probably check the sequel out just to resolve some of the lingering plot threads and questions that exist, with hope that Scalzi teases out some more of the ethical and moral questions that underpinned this one.
