Battlefield earth

[Kirklandkie]

it's over 1k pages long, its' about earth in year 3000 overrun by another race where humans are essentially technologyless

first fifty pages are tough to read but i couldnt put it down after that, i was sitting outside reading it for so long i got a sun burn

This is actually one of the few books I havent read. I dont even think I own it. Ive heard pretty much split opinions about it. Im going to BN Tuesday and I may have to pick this up.

The end goes a bit to erm "socialistic" but it's quite readable.

this is the only book ive ever started and never finished. about 1/3 through it i said to myself "There are better uses of my time than reading this". I threw it in the trash. yes thats right. I threw a book in the trash. He is the only author I absolutely refuse to ever read again. I thought it was a huge waste of my time.

WHAT?!?!?!?! You threw the book away??/ That should be like a crime or something, if you didnt like it at least donate it so that someone else can get some enjoyment out of it. Personally i liked the book alot. Ive read it several times and im gonna have to get a new copy cuz this one is falling apart.

If anything feel free to throw the movie away, but the book is AMAZING. The movie only covers about 1/2 of the book. I think the second half is much better than the first.

[Guest]

The movie is one of the worst movies ever made, and easily John Travolta's worst movie. Im only alittle over a quarter through the book and I have to say I dont really enjoy it. I'll keep reading it but so far its very 'meh'.

That was me, oops. I forgot im at work and not signed in....

i agree with matwell, the second half of the book is the best.

[Saidre Shadow]

I've never read it, so I don't know how readable it is, but I've listened to it on tape, and it was awsome. Long live Jonnie Goodboy! And I agree the story picks up halfway through. not that it was slow in the first place.

[SandmanATHF]

OK, you guys got me, I'm going to HAVE to buy this book and read it so I can give my judgment.

[Donovan5]

Second half is indeed the best. Worth the read time

[superkingtsob]

first part was slow but the last 1/2 was worth it
