The Collapsing Empire by John Scalzi

4.0

I've been reading some science fiction lately and I was shocked at how entertaining this book was. Unlike so many sci-fi books, this doesn't resemble a dry textbook that spends all its time describing the setting while nothing really happens in the plot. It's such a welcome change to have a laugh with sci-fi characters. This actually has an exciting plot with entertaining characters that aren't stuffy. I considered giving it 5 stars for this, but it lost a star because it's a short book that feels mainly like a prelude to the main story.
