I know that world unity and peace may be just as science fiction as aliens and advanced technologies, but I hope we can make progress in that directi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27551922">more...</a>]]></body>

The John Travolta movie sucked, so ignore that, too.  The book is multi layered in meaning and probably has more truth in it than most apocalypse novels.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was quite the page turner. Hard for me to put down. I really liked how different facets and ideas were put together. Just when I thought one 'battle' was finished, another showed up on another front. While I don't subscribe to every philosophy and solution the book pulls together, I apprec...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39065333">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Even if you don't like science fiction you will like this book in my experience.  It is highly complex as far as the number of characters and story lines going on at the same time, but yet easy to follow and very interesting.  It's been more than 17 years since I read it and to this day, I can't squ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77666544">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Meh. This is supposed to be one of the greatest science fiction books of all time, but I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree. I mean, to be fair I did enjoy the general plot. The idea of mankind being a nearly extinct species and having to fight to win their planet back from their captors was i...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61161979">more...</a>]]></body>
