This is what I'm talking about! One of my main criteria now for fiction/pleasure reading is FUN! I don't want to be traumatized. I don't need it to be terribly thought-provoking (though I don't want to be bored, either). I just need to be entertained. This was silly fun.
I have two other Scalzi books (one short) in my personal library. Now I'm really looking forward to reading them!

Just a typical Scalzi book with a Wil Wheaton narration. In other words, AWESOME and HILARIOUS!
Not too bad. I found a fair bit of the conclusion unimpressive and flat, but that's largely because it (necessarily, perhaps) ignored a host of contributing and mitigating factors that could have drastically complicated the story, but would have added an uncharacteristically deep complexity to the plot.
Well written.
Rises above the silliness to be pretty awesome.
