This was overall a pretty fun read, but I found myself putting it down quite a few times and not devouring it like I do with previous Scalzi books. I can't quite put my finger on what it is with this one that I didn't enjoy it as much as stuff like Old Man's War. I think that Scalzi's writing style, kinda like Andy Weir's, is a little grating on me now.
