Title: Just another space soap opera
Review: I was very disappointed by this work, which so many people hail as a classic. The book began well and has an interesing premise, but the story quickly dissolves into a simple, predictable plot. There are very few characters for a book of this size and even these few are relatively two-dimensional. However, my biggest critique of this book is that Hubbard simply takes too long to tell his story. This book could have been much shorter without losing any of its essence (this shows how much extraneous material the book contains). This is one of those books that makes you wish you had done something else with the time you spent reading it. I don't recommend this book and fail to see why it has attained such popularity.
