I used an Audible credit to purchase this book for no reason other than the cover. I have zero regrets. This book was fabulous, and the audio was really well done! The book is just about as ridiculous as the cover suggests, but it's also pretty smart with some fairly pointed commentary about the state of the world and the people in charge. John Scalzi made me laugh out loud constantly and ended almost every chapter in such a way that it was just about impossible to not start the next one. There were also plenty of twists and turns, and I for one didn't see most of them coming. It was just an all-around fun, exciting, and clever little book, and I'm glad I found it.
