It's Scalzi being Scalzi. His books are immensely readable--witty and quippy and sparkling and poppy--and this is him, at his Scalziest. This is not a novel that needs to be taken seriously--it's probably not even a novel that's good, if it's taken seriously--but it's very definitely a novel that's fun, and there's probably some depth to it that'll reward paying some attention to it. Very worth reading.
