I'd never read a John Scalzi book before, but I am ALL in for his books from now on and until the end of time. This book flew by and had such an interesting premise. (And Kaiju of course.) Plus the actual science discussed was very digestible (in some cases literally) and realistic. There was so much snark and humor that I barely noticed its setting of the pandemic, and going to alternate dimension really eliminates any fears you might have about the time period. There's a lush atmosphere, a cast of characters that will leave you giggling, and a plot that's honestly just FUN! I'd recommend this to sci-fi fans and newbies alike, especially if you love Godzilla.
