It’s a great book, I must have worn out 4 copies over the decades. Give it a shot.
If you liked Troopers, try Space Cadet and Farmer in the Sky.
I like the book for what it is, as explained in the article.
I like the movie for what it is as well. A campy funny action flick w/ very little to do with the book beyond the basic story framework. I thought it was hilarious.
Anyone who went to that movie expecting a proper rendition of the book would likewise complain that a 5”x7” photo doesn’t properly display the panorama of the sky (N S S award).
You may as well say you don’t like rocks because they are not soft.
