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

Texreader Yay!! So glad it was a hit with you!! 3h
BethM I need to read more Scalzi. What I‘ve read I‘ve enjoyed. 29m

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.

Sace Yes! I love the cats. I love the dolphins too (I‘m only about halfway through). 1d
AllDebooks @Sace the dolphins are hilarious 😂 12h
Sace I kind of hate to admit it but I sort of have a dolphin personality 😂 11h

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

Soubhiville This title is hilarious! 1d

#Read2025

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.

DieAReader 😼Great job! 2d
AmyG This was so different than what I usually read…yet, I loved it. 2d

Purchased yesterday at Bagatelle Books in Asheville. A great way to practice my Spanish. Guess who is one of the featured women? Virginia Woolf, our #authoramonth next month! @Soubhiville

AnnCrystal 🤩 Cute 🆒📚💝.

Just don't speak Spanish in public, at least that is the way it feels here in Los Angeles, California right now. It's crazy scary. I only speak English, but I feel like I've been tested...

In the metaverse with countless versions of earth there happens to be one populated by kaiju—yes, those monstrosities of movie fame. Our earth has found a means to set up a base there to study and protect the kaiju. This is the story of some newbies on that Canadian base via #Greenland. The story is fun, often hilarious, and not without its bad guys who need putting in their place. Loved it! Perfect vacation read. #authoramonth #foodandlit
