Old Scalzi's War
So, I read Old Man's War yesterday.
I forget the term normally used for the male equivalent of a 'Mary Sue', but really, the main character is a writer from Ohio.
Not that it was a bad book. It was an enjoyable enough read, but I couldn't bury that tidbit above while doing so.
If I were feeling charitable, I'd say it was because making people up from whole cloth is hard and it was just easier to write what he knew.
Someday, I may be in a charitable mood. Today, I'm feeling snarky.
