Title: Slick writing, correct politics and an unsatisfying story
Review: Some reviewers ask how this snoozer won awards. No mystery here. Slick writing, hip 70's views about sex, politics and war equals Hugo and Nebula awards---simple as that. I disagree with reviewers who say the battle scenes are exciting. They are written purposely NOT to be exciting, NOT to be satisfying, NOT to be involving. This is an antiwar novel, not an enthralling story. If you read novels for symbolism, political analysis and hard science, then this is your meat. If, on the other hand, you need a story with characters you care about as well, then trySisters of Glass, SF by an author who's first priority is telling a story.
Is the review positive or negative?
