Wrote a review for

I don’t really drink soda. I’m sensitive to caffeine, and the tasty ones have calories and over the last however many years it’s gotten so expensive besides all that. There’s really only one soda that when offered I will say yes to, and that’s Fresca. One sip has me forgetting all the reasons I don’t buy soda. It’s so refreshing and delicious and I love it.

John Scalzi is my Fresca. Why don’t I read more Scalzi? It’s funny, it’s insightful, it’s entertaining. And for the most part, his novels are short and a wonderful way to change things up or get out of a slump.

Starter Villain was no exception. Filled with cat spies, profanity spewing dolphins, attempted murder and secret societies, I had a blast from beginning to end. The “science” of this sci-fi was actually business and economics, a nice departure from the standard technology driven stories, although there is some of that as well (how else would you get unionizing dolphins?).

Do yourself a favor and go pick up a Scalzi book. It’s *at least* as delightful as a cold soda on a hot day.
