This was such a fun read, and Wil Wheaton’s narration just made it even better! There were villains and sentient cats…what more can you ask for?! 

It wasn’t super serious or super complex, this was just a fun sci-fi read. A great palate cleanser if you’re in a reading slump.

It's probably the funniest Scalzi book I have ever read, but it's so short and honestly, I'm tired of reluctant MC types who chose to walk away from it all and tend to a farm or something.

Can Scalzi just pause the fluff pieces and make galactic spanning masterpieces again?

I liked the concept but it didn't draw me in as much as I expected.

This is a seriously fun book. I never would’ve expected this at first. It’s got plenty of plot twists and it’s super funny. A good, fun read!
