The book sucks. Its lame. If you want a good read, try 1984 or a clock work orange. Battlefield Earth was a book i thought would suck due to seeing the ove turned out to be great. Its an exquisite read but the movie blows donkey dick. You would figure that seeing as how John Travolta is a Scientology-fag, he woulda done a better job in that movie, seeing as how the book was written by L Ron Hubbard, the founder of his fail religion. The book is good and surprisingly, does not promote scientology. Try it.
