I remember reading that book and saying, over and over, “Why didn’t he end it here?”
I don’t think he had an editor.
It just went on and on.
Not the worst book I’ve read, and not the best. If there was Scientology in it, it didnt leave a mark.
The movie was campy. Just too much information to stuff into a couple of hours. Mini Series perhaps (a la The Stand) but not a moview.
That's about right. The story wasn't all that bad, and there were some pretty interesting ideas.
At the time I read it, I was reading voraciously because I had nothing else to do. I'd be reading normal-sized novels in a few hours, and I liked Battlefield Earth because it was long....
