| Polydwarf's Full Review: Hubbard, L Ron |
This is abook that a person picks up with a little bit of trepidtion... Over a thousand pages, of pretty dense text.
But, after you've been reading it for a day or two, you wonder where the pages went.
It is a story about humans 1000 years after being virtually wiped out by aliens who want to mine the planet for various minerals. One man is the spearhead of the fight to win the planet back, Jonnie Goodboy Tyler.
The book itself is actually very humorous, with me laughing out loud at it (Which doesn't happen very often). The humor in the book is one of the reasons why the book reads so easily. Another is the setting in familiar locations (The area around Denver, Colorado is heavily featured), so that you're stretching your imagination to imagine the places and changes in the intervening 1000 years.
All in all, a great book to read, but probably not to take on vacation, or else you'll end up staying in the hotel, and not leaving. :)
