A review by bonnienoire
The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.

The bro-y tone killed it for me after a while. I liked it at first -- it was very funny, but after a while it just felt exhausting bc it felt like the whole book was posturing trying to be cool or funny. There weren't really any moments that allowed the reader to sit with or empathize with genuine enthusiasm, discomfort, or sincerity. It was just all flat hype or cheeseball energy, and it made it feel really empty.
