nuevecuervos 's review for:
The Human Division
by John Scalzi
I enjoyed this quite a lot; It's essentially a collection of short stories that follow a general story arc and culminate in a development that is obvious once the last story begins, but that doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the stories nor does it make the harshness at the end any easier to read. I'm really glad Scalzi decided to keep telling tales in the Old Man's War universe, and am now properly primed for The End of All Things, knowing that The Human Division pretty much is one of the shit-goes-down-in-the-hood-middle-book-of-the-trilogy volumes. The stories themselves ranged from "funny as hell" to "gd buzzkill", but they're all written with the same attention to detail and characters. I feel like Scalzi must hear the characters talking in his head pretty clearly, as his dialog tends to flow like a beautiful, vivid cartoon (especially when I listen to the audiobooks).
I'd also like to mention that I adore Lieutenant Wilson; among the cast of characters that I very much enjoyed reading about, he's a star, and if you care to argue that he's Scalzi's MacGyvering-author-insert, I will nod cheerfully and continue to not care. A+, would cheer for the erstwhile B-Team again.
