The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. Life's too short to read this book. I am puzzled by it's winning awards and garnering great reviews. I admit, I'm not usually fond of dystopias in the first place but I am very interested in sci fi, millitary fiction and I even appreciate a bit of sexiness in books. All of which The Forever War has. It's just that the author doesn't write any of it all that well or compelling. There's a war theme.
Even a rather interesting idea of space travel warping time such that a soldier engaged in interstellar war suffers such time dilation that every time he returns 'home' to earth, it's a different and alien place. Yes, that's a cool idea and plot device.
However, the war story sections fall flat. The battle scenes are not compelling. The camaraderie scenes do not bond you with the main character.
He's nothing like the story teller of Orson Scott Card, Eric Flint or David Weber. The different dystopias of earth are interesting ideas -- but not told in very compelling ways. The aliens -- they were not brought to life in any meaningful way. The horror of war was there -- but not told in any way that would move you. Sex -- plenty of talk about sex -- none of it actually sexy. He goes from complete sexual promiscuity where the female soldiers are required to have sex with any and every male soldier.to complete homosexuality where everyone is gay but the archaic 'from the past' main character. Kind of an interesting idea.perhaps people in the 70's found it shocking.but it's not compellingly told from my current vantage point.

There's a love story theme throughout -- but again, it's simply not told well. You don't fall in love with the main character's love of each other. I'd love to see what a David Weber or John Ringo could have done with Halderman's ideas. He had some truly interesting ideas and plot lines. But I had to force myself to finish the book.
I had read half of it before starting on the five book Alvin Maker series by OSC. I read the first of those with my youngest daughter and was simply compelled to devour the next and the next. Family tree maker 2006 updates. Not so with The Forever War.
