Head On by John Scalzi
5.0

Well, that book was inhaled rather quickly. I listened to the audiobook read by Wil Wheaton and couldn't stop listening. I enjoyed catching up with Chris Shane again. It's been 3 years since I read "Lock In" where the story of Haden's Syndrome is first introduced.

I feel have a demanding job so I want high-quality storytelling when I am not working. I want a nicely crafted story, and John Scalzi delivers. My brain cells get some very nice exercise as they enjoy the story, the humor, and the world in which the story is set. When you top that off when Wil Wheaton telling the tale, well, I have to go to 5 stars. I think Wil Wheaton was Chris Shane. I believe it was chapter 10 that ended on a certain note so that when Wil Wheaton announced "Chapter 11", I swear I could hear a tone in his voice that sounded like he knew I was sitting there with my eyebrows raised up to my hairline and he was enjoying the fact that I was enjoying the tale. He sound like he was thoroughly enjoying telling the tale, and that made it more enjoyable for me. Or was he simply channeling John Scalzi being pleased that a reader/listener was very entertained?
