224 Pages, Borrowed from Local Library
Another day, another classic Sci-Fi novel!If you're a fan of the 1997 Paul Verhoeven film and hoped this was the novelisation of it...you're in for a shock!
The book bares only a passing similarity to film. Whereas the film was all fightin' buggers and gallons of blood everywhere; in my opinion the book is almost an homage to how much the author loved being in the mobile infantry and how everyone should join and do their bit for God and country.
It was interesting but really the science fiction setting was the backdrop for talking about armies and war.
Great if you're into that sort of thing...not so great if you're not.
It WAS an interesting book though so I'd still recommend it...but more as a military book than Sci-Fi.
I give Starship Trooper 2.5 "Citizens" out of 5
