Old Man's War | John Scalzi

Mehso-so

John Perry joins the army when he turns 75. His desire to move on from the memories of his wife result in him joining the long, bloody fight to expand & protect humanity‘s place in space.

I can see why people like this. John is fun, the humor is on point, & the world building is amazing. But 300 pages of stop/go action, w/ everything going down in the last 50 pages + a last minute romance makes this more of a miss for me.🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑

I had high hopes for this one. Honestly I find this author's books to be misses in the series. So much potential to finally get the scoop on the emperor but he almost seems like a secondary character in this book. Also not a fan of this author's writing style.

Giving this a go after playing some Space Marine 2. Really want to dig into some Warhammer 40k lore. Enjoying it so far.

Such a fun series. This is a re-read so I can get back to the series. I adore Skippy.

At first, I thought I might get a little tired of this series. Tbh, the books are all kind of the same - Fast Food in book form 😄 But then Felicia appeared and I was hooked. I hope there'll be more books with her. And yes, I would read a whole spin-off series about her! Cain is Cain, as always, and once again, I enjoyed Jurgen and the dynamics between them. Fun and fast paced.
