review 1: A perfect little short story, funny, that fits into the arc. If I thought for a second that diplomacy were anything like Scalzi writes it, I'd be be kicking myself for never having joined the foreign service. He skips over the tedious bits in favor of the clever solution to thorn...

review 1: In this installment, Scalzi is loosening up and getting comfortable with the medium, which means there are interesting plot developments. The two previous installments are tied together and matters are sent barreling down a greased track of eventual chaos.The other nice part is t...

review 1: So far so good. Can't wait for the next episode. And I really think this kind of serial publishing works in digital formats. Each vol is short and totally not challenging readers' patience. I mean, I could do novels but lots of young people can't cuz they're too used to TV series...

review 1: Let me be clear, I am reviewing THE BOOK, The Human Division, by John Scalzi. It was originally serialized in thirteen weekly installments on Kindle, which is how I read it. To review each chapter as if it were a book would make my bookshelf look impressive, but it would be BS.I ...

review 1: This book was amazing! I know it might seem a little tough to read this book broken up in a serialized format but its worth. The last book is great. So jam packed full of action and intrigue! I hope there is a another book! I need to know what's happened to the Colonial Union and...

review 1: I can't even imagine how this is going to be resolved in one final chapter. This was another great chapter; we got some important/terrifying information/resolution on the events of a previous chapter, but I still don't feel any closer to understanding what the big picture is all ...
