A review by tiedyedude
The Forever War by Joe Haldeman

4.0

I don't think I would have been as tolerant of this book if I had been reading it (vs. listening to the audio version). I thought there was a great balance between science fiction, military strategy, and examination of potential future societies. The concept of time-dilation in relation to space travel is rarely addressed in sci-fi. Though I would have liked a deeper exploration of the effects than pining for Marygay, it was a fairly unique plot devise. I didn't expect everything to wrap up as neatly as it does, but it didn't feel cheap.
