Battlefield Earth was dreadful then, it's dreadful now, and it will be dreadful then. The book was way too long with way too many places it should have ended. I've never read a book that had so many spots it should have ended. It could have been half the elngth and it would have been good. But the more it kept going past the point of no return, the worse it got till I just plowed through it to get it finished. It ended up being a chore to finish. It went from good to when it is going to end, to enough already to stop now, to this is getting to be really tedious, to ending up being dreadful on a good day.
