This was a BLAST. I needed this book. In Scalzi’s notes and acknowledgements at the end, he says that KPS is a pop song, and that pop songs are needed sometimes. I couldn’t agree more.
The Kaiju Preservation Society is fun, propulsive, hilarious, and oh so clever. It’s incredibly current and unique in its approach to how it is current. Since all the insanity of 2020 hit (and 2021, and please god let 2022 be different), I've been wondering how it would affect artists and the art they make, and this is it right here.
Scalzi is running on all cylinders, churning away through current modes of thinking and current events, and giving his characters escape routes, fantastic stories, and alternate ways of living through them. And giving the bad guys what they deserve for once, instead of what they always end up getting in the real world.
Thank you Scalzi, I appreciate this. Like I said, I needed this book, and I have a sneaking suspicion that you probably do too.
