I really liked it and now I'm looking forward to the next book in the series which should be coming out next year. I've liked everything written by John Scalzi that I've read so far and I have a number of them to go (I haven't read the Old Man's War series yet and I've heard great things). Also, I get to see him at the National Book Festival this Saturday!
