The first time I read The Forever War was when I was in University. While I was first reading it, it didn't make an impression until after I put it down and I found myself thinking about it for a long time afterwards. I have now read it several times, and each time I get something new from it. The...
I went in to reading this graphic novel adaptation of The Forever War knowing surprisingly little about the story. I haven’t yet read the original novels. I have read a work inspired by it (Old Man’s War) and loved it, though. Keep that in mind when reading my review, as fans of the original novel m...
This book is a little hard to rate. My three-star rating is based more on my level of enjoyment while reading the book than on its merit as a work of classic military science fiction. My interest fluctuated and, despite that it’s only 278 pages, I started to get particularly impatient with it in t...
I found this an entertaining read even though I believe that what I found interesting this time was quite a bit different than my first read 30 years ago. Their was much less action scenes than remembered and quite a bit more of character study and political message from the author which is what hel...

داستانی که در اول بچگانه و مسخره به نظر میرسید به کجاها که نرسید. و «ویلیام ماندلا» که با این همه مشکل، از پسِ ۱۱۴۳ سال جنگ برآمد و به «مریگی پاتر»ی رسید که این همه دوستش داشت؛ خوش به حالش، خوش به حال هردوشان
Sci-fi military at it's best about.A senseless war that lasts centuries due to time dilation of space travel at light speed and beyond. This time dilation makes for some interesting times when soldiers return as for them only months have passed while on Earth years have passed. It also makes for int...
A quick read. I'm surprising myself a bit by remarking on this, but The Forever War just didn't create much of an emotional connection to its characters. Starship Troopers was a much more engaging read. [spoiler] It was two stars, and then it killed the cat. Plus the whole reprogramming homosexual...
This is, simply put, one of the best books I have ever read. It's deceptively well written. Although the prose is fairly straightforward, it seamlessly meshes hard science fiction, space opera, military SF, and what I think of as "soft SF" (science fiction that maintains a focus on the so-called "...
I first read The Forever War a couple years ago in audiobook format, I quite liked it but to be honest it did not leave much of a lasting impression. I suspect the audiobook format is not suitable for this particular book, I don’t remember there being anything wrong with the narration, I just could ...
