Since my last post, lots has happened in this book. It went from a war experience based book to a story about a man who is re-discovering earth after being gone over 100 years, and then going through another experience of having to go back to war. He gets hurt in battle and we see how he deals with losing limbs and how his relationships are affected by war. If you like books that focus on one persons experiences through different situations,

Paul.VandenElzen1 …you‘ll love this book. The theme I have identified so far is how a persons relationships are affected by traumatic experiences, and whether they are pushed apart or drawn closer than ever. This book is in first person point of view from the POV of a man named mandella. 2y

The ‘Forever War‘ is about a inter-galactic war between the humans and another race called the Taurans. The Taurans attacked earth and killed lots of humans and were barely fought off, so the humans gathered the people with the highest Iq‘s and most athletic to join a small army to go to one of the Tauran‘s home planets to attack and scout them out. If you like books that are science fiction about space and aliens you would love this book.

Paul.VandenElzen1 The theme of this book would be about how war affects people and society in various negative ways. It could also be about how individual people have to deal with committing acts they may not see morally acceptable for their own race. 3y
