@9c3277bc @99b9ed46 I haven't read the book in 2-3 decades, and at the time I remember thinking "this is really cool!"  Now, though, I can absolutely look back and think it's definitely pretty fashy.

It's got some cool mil sci-fi, though: there's a lot of neat stuff in the book that doesn't make the movie (which was a major criticism at the time). 

 @13df7ed9 @99b9ed46 to be fair I've never read it, so just going off what I've heard. 

 @9c3277bc @99b9ed46 I'd go as far as saying it's worth a read when if you no longer have a plastic, teenaged brain. 

 @13df7ed9 @9c3277bc the plastic in my teenage brain comes mostly in the shape of blood bowl players. The teenager in my plastic brain is exclusively interested in dick and poop jokes
