But Shapiro knows what he did was awful.

It couldn't have been as awful as the novel that inspired it. It's the only thing by L. Ron Hubbard I've ever read, and it was the sort of thing an uninspired and untalented high school student in a writing class might have written, expanded into a thousand page novel.

I was given Battlefield Earth to read once when I was laid up with the flu, something to shut me up. The book is structured as three sections or books in one cover. It seemed to me each of the three sections was written in a different style. My opinion is each was the product of a different ghost-writer.
