#70The Human Division by John Scalzi

I really liked the idea behind this book. It was a electronic short story serial that can work as either stand alone stories or it makes a very nice novel. The plus is you have lots of viewpoint characters but a few due keep cropping up every few stories. As a novel I liked it because there is so much more of this universe I want to see. And I am happy to hear that there will be a second book done in the same fashion. Now to decide if I want to do it electronically to read it faster or wait and read the entire thing in one sitting.

I would recommend the latter. I read most of the book as installments and they stood on their own. It was something to loom forward to.

FYI, these reviews are not showing up on your Facebook feed like they used to.

Weird, I'll have to look at the settings. I'm doing a serial right now with Seanna McGuire's Indexing and I prefer to do my reading in large chunks instead of smaller installments.
