I agree. For me, Forever War was a book with an interesting premise and a somewhat lackluster execution. None of the characters are pretty interesting or memorable, and the main character seems to be Hadelman inserting an idealized version of himself into the story. The story itself felt a bit forced or inconsistent in numerous places, and never really capitalized on some of the ideas. I enjoyed reading it, but didn't think it was particularly great (same with Forever Peace, though that book had somewhat different issues).
