A review by teachinsci
A Very Scalzi Christmas by John Scalzi

5.0

I have read many of Scalzi's books over the years. I also enjoy short stories. This set of stories was one of the best I have read. My only problem with it it's that it was over too soon.
It is trite to say, "I laughed, I cried', but the truth is that I frequently laughed and Scalzi wrote a story intended to make gore mother-in-law tear-up that works on others too.
My favorites were the interview style stories, particularly the one with Santa's reindeer wrangler. I enjoyed it so much I insisted my wife read it immediately.
I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys Scalzi's writing or, frankly, wants to have a laugh this holiday (or anytime).

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.
