Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 by L. Ron Hubbard
2.0
Seeing this on sale and reading the reviews, I was looking forward to this sci-fi tale that spun one of the worst movies of all time. It starts off well enough, and I give the author credit in keeping things rolling at first.
However, this is a big book. And eventually it bogs down under itself and it's ridiculousness. This is an ultra long b-movie to its fullest. Normally I can take some weirdness. But with this it was just too much. Things just ended up getting plain silly which made it a chore to get through in the end. For some people, that might be a good thing. However for me, it was just too much to handle. Maybe if the book was a couple of hundred pages shorter, it would've been better.
