The Kaiju Preservation Society

I found this to be fun and quick-paced. It drew inspiration from monster movies and the conflict was one that is often used: “billionaires are evil.”

Scalzi used dialogue to tell the story 90% of the time. This was efficient and started out entertaining until I realized that every character had a similar personality and and sense of humor. The cast of characters was only superficially diverse since they otherwise spoke the same “language” of smart-ass-ery and there was no conflict among the group of colleagues.

At first, the humor seems fresh and then it quickly gets old. Since the premise isn't that original either, I don't have strong feelings about the book either way. Mediocre entertainment.
