A compelling exploration of an earth with very different biological systems than our own, with a good dose of humor and action. However more than any of Scalzi’s other books this one suffered from all of the main characters being the same person in different skin, as well as moments of dialogue that are so over the top in his typical sarcastic tone that they just didn’t work for me. The worst was

the “awards ceremony” after they saved the guy from getting eaten in the jungle, with all the made up inductions into made up orders.

I could tell he was going for humor but it just didn’t land there.
