This was the second Scalzi I read. (The first was Redshirts, which I loved because I am a Trekkie: The Next Generation.) Reading this book is when I began to adore Scalzi's sarcastic rhythm mixed with light narratives themes that ... in the end, are sneakily meaningful.

My friend Robb recommended Scalzi to me. At first, I said "meh, kinda weak." In fairness, Robb also recommended Schitt's Creek which I still don't find funny. But I should probably continue watching. Because over the years, I've learned ... Robb is always right.

(Sshhhh, don't tell Robb.)
