Welcome to Litsy!

A quick read involving some Roswell fun. My first experience reading Scalzi, though I have several of his books in my TBR.

This book is really quite funny—read the title—until some snazzy science tells us what happened to his brain. Then it became a bit lackluster. The best bits are the descriptions of the president—with or without brain—that easily summarize the current president, the immediate past president and so on. 😉 Worth it for a short read but not up to par with Starter Villain, which I can‘t recommend enough. Fun fun writer.

Interrupting reading all other books for a palate cleanser thanks to @thegirlwiththelibrarybag

“I do,” Boehm said. “Mr. Vice-President, I have no answers for you at this time. All I know - all any of us know at the moment - are two things. One, the President is by all outward and most inward appearances entirely healthy for a 63-year-old man. Two, his brain is absolutely gone.”

Absolutely entertaining story about what the White House staff do when they realise the POTUS‘s brain is gone.
