Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 by L. Ron Hubbard

4.0

What a great read! Really liked the complexity of the plot, the number of characters, and the epic proportions of the alien worlds. It got minus a star, because it was a bit unrealistic to have a barbarian human who doesn't know how to read, within a couple years, learn how to read, speak several languages, learn about diplomacy, explosives, mining, advanced mathematics... the list goes on. Also, he never lost, so it wasn't surprising when he won. Fun story, though, and way better than I expected of L. Ron Hubbard!
