I read Starship Troopers about 30 years before the movie. What a let down. However, I read the Godfather about 15 years before I watched the movie and I enjoyed it. Whatever you do please don’t watch the remake of Rollerball or The Andromeda strain. If you decide to watch them have a barf bag ready.
Starship Troopers is my favorite sci-fi book. The movie sucked. Mobile Infantry in the book rocked.
