SFF Readalongs led by Kitty G discussion

This thread is for discussion of all of part 2 of the Old Man's War book. Please don't leave spoilers for any other sections later in the book!

What do you think of the storyline and way it's told?
Do you like the format of the books so far?
Does your cover give off the impression of the book/is it a good cover? (link your edition so we can see it?)

Bit disappointing this part. It mostly covers the war, but the vision of future warfare is very, very dated pointing to some Vietnam War vintage. Entertaining never the less, mostly by the descriptions of the different factions at war.

The one thing that jumped out at me in Part II when the fighting starts for John was regarding the Consu and the song they sang before the battle begins. It does seem strange and as John suspected, almost like a baptism/consecration. This is definitely coming back to bite..
