The internal dialogue is formulaic and clumsy and the good/evil conflicts are too transparent to enjoy. I put the book down after 344 pages at the point that Terl tries to kill Johnny Goodboy after getting his gold and couldn't pick it back up. The message I got from the book is that "things will work out in the end if your quest is righteous." (  ) etimme | Nov 3, 2009 |  I enjoy long books, and Battlefield Earth happens to be the world's longest book. Hubbard's writing and storytelling is great, but Hollywood messed it up (not to mention Hubbard is the creator of scientology, which adds another layer of craziness to this tome). (  ) 06nwingert | Oct 31, 2009 | Classic. Fantastic story. I would sit in my car during my lunch hour and read. One of those books you remembered to take everywhere with you. A little bit long, but didn't feel unnecessarily so. (  )1  scottwmcgregor | Jul 27, 2009 | The first 300 pages of this book are pure, simple fun. I could have done without the rest of the book, but those first 300 pages deserved my 4 and 1/2 stars. Now the movie, on the other hand, was abysmal. ( )1 ChadCottle | Sep 19, 2008 | Good science fiction? No. But pure pulp. Fun, stupid read. Just check your brain at the door. (  )1 cameronl | Sep 10, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
