Title: Stunning. What 'science' fiction was meant to be.
Review: It was years ago when I first read the Forever War. At the time I was young and was simply attracted to the book as a fun piece of science fiction.Twenty-years and three wars later I read it again and I was stunned by how different it felt. It was like I was reading a different novel. What on the surface is just a good piece of sci-fi about how war might be in the future is in fact a book about every war there has ever been. At least that is my theory. It certainly feels like every war I have been in.On another level it is a novel about anyone who goes home after many years, only to find it vanished the day you left. There is a reason this classic is still around nearly 30 years later. This is one of the books they will be reading centuries from now when they talk about a new type of fiction from the 20th century called "Science Fiction."
