Query: Haldeman is dismal

I think both "Forever Peace" and "Forever War" are at best interesting but boring reads. Haldeman is a good character writer but a bad story teller - although there are interesting plot twists, you are never engaged. The ending to "Forever Peace" is straight from the script of a bad B movie. Overall, this book would be an absolute waste of time if it were any longer than 300 pages.
