A review by roguehireling
Old Man's War by John Scalzi
4.0
I listened to this on audio book and though the reader was not my favorite, I did quite enjoy the book.
Having read Red Shirts first, I still notice Mr Scalzi's penchant to overuse the word said, even in this story driven book.
The story itself was entertaining and I enjoyed learning about his universe. IT did get a bit wordy around explaining battles and scientific reasoning sometimes. Also the romance was...disturbing.
I was actually quite surprised there was a romance in the book. Its really what made me put this book the romance for guys category.
