Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 by L. Ron Hubbard

3.0

The writing style seemed simple and straightforward, without much fluff. It took a while to get used to the fact that there wasn't much exposition, and I had to be content with knowing about as much as the characters along the way. Hubbard gives just enough to keep you curious, but not enough to tie up every loose end perfectly. Some questions are left imperfectly answered.

A bit cheesy, but enjoyable overall, with a properly evil villain in Terl, and a Fabio-esque hero in Jonnie. The Scots made the book well worth finishing, along with the mysterious small grey man, Ker, and Chirk.
