ferrisscottr 's review for:

The Human Division by John Scalzi
4.0

This is a book made up of 13 episodes that Scalzi released (I believe one a week for thirteen weeks). I did rate each episode as I read them and really do recommend that you read them that way. They were written, designed and released to be read episodically and I'm not really sure they work as a novel.

The episodes had me turning the pages and really looking forward to the next episode. I should state that I am in general a fan of episodic fiction so this really was right up my alley.

The stories all revolve around the division between Earth and the Colonial Union after the conclusion of The Last Colony when Perry tells the Earth what the CU has been up to for a few hundred years. Quite a few characters in this book, Harry Wilson, Schmidt, Abumwe etc.

Scalzi's a rockstar for a reason, he's just really really good at telling a story, of having you want to keep turning those pages to find out what happens next and The Human Division does not disappoint.
