1.0étoiles sur 5 Enid Blyton writes Starship Troopers!, Janv. 14 2004
The best thing about this novel is that after reading it I have decided to write a novel myself. My inspiration being that if I was iliterate and had English as a secondary language I could not come up with a bigger pile of rubbish. According to some of the other reviews this book is the weakest of the series. I will never know as this book has put me off *reading anything ever again!* It really is that poor. How people can justify giving it 4 or 5 stars in a review is beyond my comprehension. Books like 'A Game of Thrones' by George RR Martin, or 'Perdido Street Station' by China Miéville, deserve that kind of rating. Read them... Go. Now.

1.0étoiles sur 5 don't let it put you off, though, Oct. 26 2003
Par A. Williamson (Manchester, UK) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This is a really award-winningly terrible book, as some of the reviewers above have said, but it's probably a good idea not to let that put you off the rest of the series. I was very, very bored when I first read this and I'm glad, because if I hadn't been I wouldn't have gone on to read the others. It's probably worth reading this for the sake of completeness, but if you're short on patience skip it and move on to the later books - 2 and 3 are quite good, and 4 to 7 are excellent. It's odd that a writer who can produce the later books in the series is capable of turning out such unmitigated crap as this...how can someone who can keep you on the edge of the seat for three hundred pages truly believe anyone at all would be interested in five pages of description of engineering procedures? The many other flaws have already been mentioned - clunky prose, terrible characterisation and the bizarre feat of rendering fox-hunting even more incredibly pointless than it already is (in this book, the idle rich aristocracy of the universe have specially reconstructed the extinct fox from the genes of other animals and dedicated an entire planet to hunting it for absolutely no useful purpose whatsoever) and expecting the readers to like the characters who cheerfully engage in the 'sport'.

Also notable for containing possibly the most unintentionally disturbing passage in any book ever, when one of the intensely dislikable "heroes" finds himself trapped in a bathroom, hands tied behind his back, wishing to use the facilities. He tells us that it would do no good to yank on the waistband from behind, because - I swear I'm not making it up - it has been designed to withstand incredible forces.

I have spent the year since I first read the book wondering, on and off, exactly why *anyone* would design the waistband of a pair of trousers to withstand incredible forces. None of the possible answers has made me sleep any better at night...

5.0étoiles sur 5 Mil sci-fi with a difference!, Jui 19 2003
Okay, I thought this book was pretty good as far as books from this genre of Military science fiction go.

Heris Serrano is a very likeable character, as are the rest of the supporting characters in the book like Lady Cecelia, and even her nephew Ronnie.

This book is actually not one about military science-fic per se, but its about an ex-Servicewoman trying to carve out a new life for herself as a civillian. Serrano goes on a self discovery of sorts as she slowly re-immerses herself back into the civillian world and life as Captain of the very saccharine and gag-worthy named "Sweet Delight", Lady Ceceilia's personal craft..

The plot itself centres around a conspiracy that goes up to the highest levels of the government, and is fast moving and fluid. Unlike some books where you find yourself gettting stuck at a particular chapter without motivation to go on, this book is very readable.

I particularly liked the "island" scenes where Ronnie and the rest of the youngsters were left to fight for their lives and fend for themselves. I found Bubble's graudual transformation from rich fluffhead to the calm collected young lady she later became especially interesting, and that angle provides a lot of material for Moon to work with as she continues the series.

Overall, 5 stars for a fine piece of work, and a good first novel in a series that I will definitely continue reading!
