Book Review: Starship Troopers

I went into my third Robert Heinlein book with a bit of trepidation. It's reputedly one of his most controversial, if not the most. I really like The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, but that's pretty controversial in its own right. And Stranger in a Strange Land becomes downright repulsive toward the end. Could Starship Troopers be much worse?

Nope. Not to me. I found it no more troubling than TMIaHM.

( Addressing the complaints )

Oddly enough, the book made me want slightly to check out the movie. I know it's not made for fans of the book, but I'm curious how it handled the parody.


ST isn't very long, so normally I'd start on a tome next. Instead, due to a library whim, I'm on the previously hard-to-find Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie.
