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

4.0

All right, seriously, this book is as good as the movie is bad. At least that's how I felt about it when I was in high school. Nowadays I'd probably be annoyed at the tropey Mary Sue-ness of the main character, and of course now I know about some of the themes and how they relate (quite indirectly) to a certain unnamed cult. But at the time, it was just a great sci-fi yarn with a lot of really clever plot points.
