This was really interesting from a format perspective. The moon turning to cheese for no discernible reason? That's the foolishness I have learned to expect from this author.

I haven't read a Scalzi that didn't make me cackle with laughter and this was no exception! I really love the character of the bumbling new manager who's in over his head. The cats and the dolphins were of course wonderful but I loved the mystery and spy novel of it all as well.
I'm glad #AuthorAMonth made me finally listen to this one, I've had it for a while. Plus Wil Wheaton's narration was the cherry on top! #AAM @Soubhiville

In some ways this is just as silly as When the Moon Hits Your Eye, but it has so much more sweetness and heart. A reread for me, and just as good as the first time.

4.5/5 ⭐️
I loved this! I was especially grateful for the Hera story at the end. I also adored the dolphins, despite their salty personalities 🤣

Another #authoramonth success story.

I haven't laughed so much at a book for the longest time. I'm really enjoying it so much. It's a bit scary as it's playing out like one of my many bizarre dreams. The cats are ace!!
This is why I love #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville ❤️📚❤️ I would not have picked this author as a priority tbr, but I'm so glad to be introduced to his work.

In a world where so many serious things are happening it was perfectly timed that #AuthorAMonth brought me this book where very weird things are taken completely seriously. I loved the cats. I loved the dolphins. I loved the audiobook narration too.

Scalzi plays on all the stereotypes of fantasy and sci fi to write the opening to a series that doesn‘t exist. I repeat, even though it says it‘s book one, it‘s not. It‘s a parody of a series opener. It‘s very short (an 11-minute read) and often funny. An easy final read for June‘s #authoramonth @Soubhiville

I‘m so behind on my reviews—I finished this a couple of weeks ago for #AuthorAMonth June & I really enjoyed it. The pace, the humor, the cats & really the whole fantastical & fun story. This is my first John Scalzi & I would definitely read more. I‘d love another one set in this world that continues on with some of the secondary characters.
