Expected more from a Nebula and Hugo award winner. However, annual awards do HAVE to be given out every year, so who knows what to expect.
Haldeman's style is fine, not proper prose, but just nice enough. The story was the problem: It never went anywhere. It is also a lot like Starship Troopers, like that combined with space travel time and aging in OS Card's Ender series. The Forever War differs from Heinlein's version in that the war keeps continuing. That might have some meaning, but it is not a pleasant read.
