Query: Excellent book, engaging story

This was way better than I expected. I admit, when I got started on this book. It seemed a little goofy at first. But as the story progressed, I was impressed at the depth Haldeman gave the central characters. I really like Haldeman's light and clean writing style. It makes for effortless reading without losing any good details.I won't give away the ending, but its a fun ending. Maybe it was obvious, but it still was satisfying.
