I wouldn't want to give the impression that I didn't enjoy this, but Scalzi's style which seems to forsake irony for full-on sarcasm a lot of the time, fully and heroically articulated and embodied by Will Wheaton, wears out its welcome after a while. When the narrative is moving along straighforwardly it's perfectly fine. When characters are being colossal bullies, assholes, showing off how clever they are, taking advantage or exposing new information it can be all a bit samey and even unpleasant. Still, enjoyed it.
