The characters felt like scientists and I appreciated the attempt to sorta make Kaiju plausible biologically. It was better than most attempts I’ve seen at doing that.
My biggest issue is that jokes didn’t really get a chance to land. Character 1 would say the joke and then character 2 would repeat the joke which made a lot of them less funny to me.

To keep the cast of named characters small, it definitely feels like Scalzi very deliberately put them in, even if it feels like others would be more likely to there instead. But, again, this isn’t a serious type of story, so I don’t feel put off by this obvious stepping in of the author to orchestrate people’s placement for the story to work.
The main characters are fun and the antagonist characters are fun to hate.
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Death, and Gore
Minor: Murder

That said, it's a fun romp and adventure. Reads like it would make a killer screen adaptation. Hollywood, please produce this.
