Definately one of my all time favorites. A lot of people didn't like the Jack Crow chapters, but I don't think it would be the same book without them. It's interesting to compare Armor and Starship Troopers. Despite the obvious similarities in setting they are polar opposites on many different levels. I may have to write a book report to myself. :)

LOL, indeed, Armour was fascinating, and it would be missing something without the Jim Crow chapters in it.
I will have to read it again, I just reread Starship troopers for the thousandth time it seems last week.
I will have to search my bookshelf for Armour, I know it's there, because I saw it the other day.
I like Starship Troopers better, but I am a HUGE Heinlein fan, have 95% of his books, missing a few of the older less in print ones, but I will find them...
