“This novel comes in two parts. While reading the first part, the main story, I kept thinking that the characters were not as well rounded as his other books, and while the plot took some interesting turns, it never grabbed me either (I do realize some of the slipshod nature of the devices was an intentional commentary on the subject matter). The second part of the book involves 3 codas which are tangential to the main story. The first is quite humorous, but the second opened up a whole different way of interpreting the main text, that of an exploration of reader/character identification. This concept made me appreciate what had come before more, but made it seem even stranger that the characters seemed flatter than the usual Scalzi. I give the concepts pointed to in the codas 4 stars and the main story 3 stars for a 3.5 star book.”
