After having read the science heavy epic "Cities In Flight". I was geared up for another round a sciency-heavy Sci-Fi.

Which was a complete contrast to what I found in The Forever War. This is a very human book, presenting a few universal axioms on which to base the rest of the book. The pyschological and sociological explorations are staggering, and I've not read anything like it before.

This is the only book where I've had to turn to the last page to "just make sure" to keep myself from crying on the London Underground.

Genuinely amazing.
