Well, the movie Starship Troopers is awful.
That being said, the book is intense and a great read. You'd be surprised how close Halo is to Starship Troopers (The book, not the crapfest movie). I'd liken the first chapter to a HellJumper insertion, but with prototype Mjolnir Armor.
That's exactly what I thought!
The book was excellent. They had kind of a cool form of government, which I actually kind of agree with. To an extent.
My only gripe about it was that it was way too short. He had a huge universe to work with...grab it by the horns! I wanted to learn more about their colonization, how Cherenkov drive works, have some more detailed battle scenes...if he would've made it longer, the awesome would've increased exponentially.
