This was not trying to be anything it wasn't. It was fluff. It was a romp. It had the Scalzi touch on the dialogue that makes every character sound identical (a witty quipper), the recurrring jokes that recur just a smidge too often  ('I lift things'), and was exactly what it set out to be. It was essence of Scalzi. It was exactly what I wanted.
