My second Scalzi book so far, and it has been the best of times. The Kaiju Preservation Society was among my favourite reads from last year, which meant I had very high expectations for this. Still kinda sad it didn't win the Hugo :( I loved the humor, and the banter. His main characters are always likeable and fun to read. There was so much going on in this book and it was a pure shot of serotonin. Plus that cover, and the upper management cats and the dolphin labor union and the evil volcano lair. All very absurd but in the best possible way. This book had me laughing and giggling at 3 a.m. and still begging for more. Definitely here for whatever this dude writes. Maybe a full proper review later on.
