rhinelanderwaldo 's review for:
Zoe's Tale
by John Scalzi
Henrietta Potter in Space. Horatia Hornblower. Dime adventure novels from a hundred years ago, repolished. Sci-Fi comfort food. Likable characters that provide escape without stress. The prose is lucid, the underlying themes are engaging without being threatening. Scalzi uses the large toolkit of past creations in the genre, and to his credit makes a novel that is fun to read.
If you liked Zoe...try [b:The Forever War|21611|The Forever War|Joe Haldeman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167322714s/21611.jpg|423] or [b:Rite of Passage|229021|Rite of Passage|Alexei Panshin|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Ezw-M6U%2BL._SL75_.jpg|2160570]. Panshin won either a nebula or hugo almost 40 years ago for Rite...and it is virtually the same novel as Zoe. Will Zoe win a hugo this year?
