Actually, it is very character oriented and the technology is nothing much deeper than you'd encounter in a good video game (hence the "Game" in the title).
It's got alien threat, kids, deep convictions, and a lot of interpersonal tension.
I love re-reading it.

well, I know that if I liked a book well, I reread it when I have a lot of spare time (such as work!). However, since I know how it ends, I get even more worked up, like, "NO! DON'T DO IT! IT'S A TRAP!" and so on.
Plus, the second time around, you're not trying to wrap your head around jargon and subplots, and you can enjoy the book more (like I did for LotR).
The perfect way to refresh your memory is to reread it.

I envy you! I love it when I kind of forget key moments in movies or books that I love and then I get to experience the magic all over again. Posts: 4116 | Registered: Apr 2002

I am blessed with a wonderfully long memory for books, movies and songs. However, it is rather shocking when I forget something important in the story, in a "Wow, that one hit me from behind" kind of way. I happen to rush through books because I get so into it, I want to find out what happens in the end. The second time is more relaxed because it's not the mad rush to the last page, and I enjoy it more.
In fact, for tTT and RotK, I rushed through and kept skipping pages, so some parts I didn't even REMEMBER when I saw the movies, I had to go back and reread it to make sure I hadn't missed anything.
