Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi

4.0

Scalzi delivers again. I love Scalzi's books because they're straightforwardly entertainment, and he isn't shy about or ashamed of that fact - yet he always manages to sneak in a feel-good moral. In Fuzzy Nation, Scalzi's irrepressible hero is contract-explorer-excavationist Jack Halloway, whose sidekick Carl the dog introduces him to a family of fuzzy creatures he calls, in a burst of creativity, "fuzzys." What happens next embroils the entire gemstone-rich planet and the myriad corporate trespassers who want nothing more than to tear the world apart in one clever, crafty man's schemes to get the best for himself. And his pals, of course. Even the furry ones.

Highly entertaining, this book took me a mere two days to sail through. I recommend this to anyone who enjoyed The Icarus Hunt - it's the same kind of light-hearted yet engaging sci-fi lite adventure.
