A review by nanshiii
The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi
4.0
John Scalzi's strength is writing snappy dialogue that is easy to digest and not be that serious. It's very Marvel-esque in that sense and made this an easy to read novel. I will say, the easy to read aspect stems from how the voice of this novel is very much Millennial who is chronically online aka the voice of my generation.
The plot was pretty predictable but I found the world building, where we have it, pretty nice. I was entertained for a good two thirds of the book while Jamie and friends (they kind of meld together after a while) ramp up at their jobs. The hand-wavey IT'S SCIENCE IT JUST WORKS fit the overall not so serious tone of the book. Overall this was a good reprieve from the depressing books I've been reading lol
Book 1 from 2023 book club. Borrowed from Libby.
