Think next I’ll try the LOCK IN / HEAD ON duo...good idea? Recommended?

Originally posted by Martin View PostSorry to hear that. Not a classic for me but I enjoyed it. My two disappointments have been God's Engines and Miniatures. Miniatures in particular was not good.

I’m halfway through and am throwing in the towel on this one. I have no interest in what happens in the latter half, and couldn’t really tell you what the first half was about…it was one of those reading experiences where you just see the words on the page but don’t truly absorb them in any meaningful way. Absolutely surprising, given that until now I’ve loved everything I’ve read by him...this is my first bad Scalzi experience, but it’s a stunningly disappointing one.

Originally posted by RonClinton View PostMartin, I finished FUZZY NATION tonight, and you were right (in another thread)...it’s a fantastic read, full of character and thrills, heart and charm. Just a wonderful read.
I couldn’t help it — just started another Scalzi (THE ANDROID’S DREAM) right after it.

Originally posted by RonClinton View PostYeah, THE DISPATCHER was great, and I’m about halfway through REDSHIRTS and am really enjoying it. I read some older interview on-line where Scalzi said he was going to revisit the world of THE DISPATCHER and write a full-length novel set there. No idea if he’s still working on that idea or if he abandoned the idea...
