I seldom had a dry eye during the third part of the book. Made me laugh from time to time as well. My copy was from the library and I am still undecided whether or not I want to support the author by buying the book new. (Politics)

They complement each other well, and I love Zoe’s voice as a narrator – she’s very snarky and insightful.

I was listened to the audio version at the same time I read Lost Colony. It was a lot of fun to jump between points of view. In my mind, both books are one, except that one of them talked to me, man, “the book is talking to me man!” :)

Anyone else read both at the same time? it was awesome!

Congrats John!

# JustAnotherJohn@7: My wife is a librarian. I always bug her to get Scalzi’s stuff, as well as other sci-fi I like. Good reviews help my case though. It is nice to see good science fiction in the classroom.

Don’t tell her I said that.

… possibly not as happy as my publicist, who I imagine is at this very running about her office going “Spleee!”

Compared to Rite of Passage *and* Podkayne? I bet she is, but I’ve usually seen that noise spelled “Squeee!” ;-)
