Review title: Wouldn't recommend this book if it was Forever Free (haha)
Product review: I don't agree with the reviewer who said this would surpass Forever War as Haldeman's best novel. I found it to be relatively weak compared to both earlier "Forever" works (even considering that Forever Peace was not related to either War or Free).Many of the characters lacked the definition required to be unique or contribute substantially to the story line. Some scenes seemed ridiculously out of place when put in the context of the universe Haldeman has created. And of course, many reviewers have pointed out that the ending "plain old stinks". It's an abrupt shift from a mediocre quest of discovery to an eigth grader's sci-fi fantasy finale at the last possible minute and impossible to take seriously.If you've read Haldeman's other works, then this should be on your list only if you must read them all to satisify your Forever Lust. Otherwise, skip it.If you've never read Haldeman, drop what you're doing and order Forever War right now!
