A review by hank
Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi

4.0

I am currently in a stingy star giving rut. I thoroughly enjoyed this book but the very end it got a bit too "procedural" and intricate for a full 5 star rating. Scalzi's forte is and has always been witty banter between his main characters, snarky, flippant and amusing. Not everyone will enjoy that as much as I do but he is still quite good at writing dialog. His characters always seem to have a good chunk of self honesty about them, mostly good natured but with admitted defects and shortcomings, something I very much like because that is how I see the world and most everyone else which makes it easy to insert myself into the story.

The downside to Fuzzy Nation is that Scalzi relies a bit too heavily on the dialog and the end gets bogged down in a courtroom. I do however LOVE epilogues which this book had.

I was late to work because I wanted to finish the book so maybe it really did deserve 5 stars.
