Sentimental, sweet, silly, strange, sad, surprising, soulful, surreal... (once I realized I had 3 'S' words, I just went with it) and truly a little weird.

Fun! Fit right into the current media genre mash up that I've been enjoying this month. It has likeable characters who end up heroes, a true, greed fueled villian, enough scientific explanation to make it believable, and obviously the main attraction, giant f*cking kaijus. I'm not sure what else you'd want! The Kaiju Preservation Society, sounds like a cool name for a band. 😉

I absolutely adored this book, and the narration by the author was fabulous. 
Mostly hilarious, a little sad and a little scandalous. I was waiting for tears to be triggered, but they never were. That's alright, I still felt the story dealt with grief very well. The children were a highlight, especially on audio book. As a mother of a 6 year old, I was immediately drawn to Grant. The ending is... chef's kiss. I need to see this as a limited series!

A fun, quick read that's perfect for any horror fan. Packed with plenty of View Askew references and a plot that could easily have been written for Clerks III.
