This book was a bit of a rollercoaster for me. It started out well, slowed down, sped up, slowed down, and finished with a flurry of awesome. There were a lot of things I like - yet again, Scalzi's writing, specifically his dialogue. He writes people in a way that makes them feel like people, not li...
I like Scalzi and enjoyed the Scalzifying of Piper's novel, but I think I enjoyed Piper, despite some rather dull, legalistic passages, a little more. It was fun to read Scalzi's reboot, much like watching the new Star Trek movies, but the heart of the idea is still Piper's.
Hands up, everyone who read this and considered giving it an extra star just because of Carl the dog? Come on, be honest.Because Carl is a truly great character, and I don't even like dogs. On the other hand, most of the characters in this book are entertaining, but Carl stands out. Fuzzy Nation, a ...
I haven't read the original but I really enjoyed this version. I thought that the author's depiction of the fuzzies was very well done in that they were entirely sympathetic without being cloying. I haven't decided if I want to read the original because I enjoyed this one so much and I don't think I...
This was one of the quickest reads I've encountered in a long time. I don't meant that the book was short per se, but this is the sort of book where you'll sit down to read a few pages before going out to do something, and when you check at the end you realize you read like 40 pages without even rea...
This was my first time reading Scalzi. Saw this at the library and was like OH I need to read him. I'm glad I did! This was great! Kind of a sci-fi-eco-legal thriller? The sci fi world-building was well done and you basically didn't have to even think about it, everything was seamless, nothing stuck...
Alien invasion. But in this particular event, we, the humans are the aliens who have invaded the planet of the 'fuzzies' (though unaware of their existence initially). I have not read the original 'Little Fuzzy' by H. Beam Piper so I cannot compare this novel with it but I think that it was good to ...
Fuzzy Nation is a great book and you should all read it. Shit, am I not done yet? Fine. Fuzzy Nation is a "reboot" of a Hugo winning novel from the 60s called Little Fuzzy, in the same way that the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica retooled the cheesy 80s series and J.J. Abrams rebooted the Star Tr...
A very short book with an uncomplicated plot, a stock theme and overly simplistic characterizations, but 5 stars for the humor, the cutesy-ness, and pure entertainment value!
So this book is a reboot of Little Fuzzy, and I liked it a bit better. If anything because it is more modern and a little bit more complicated (and definitely more actiony), though I enjoyed the courtroom drama from the original more. It was fast paced and fun. It's not some deep thinky book. La...
