Thanks for the early look at the book, Scalzi. Rothfuss gets worried about things, sometimes people get mysteriously hurt. If this book wasn't so entertaining, I'd want to send some big, broad-shouldered men around to his house to look menacing and say things like, "Mr Rothfuss is worried about some of the writing you have been doing in his neighborhood. This makes it easier for us to be friends, because we're both doing our own thing on our own ends of the street, metaphorically speaking.īut now Scalzi has gone all meta. It means that while we're neighbors, we're somewhat distant neighbors. I write huge tangled metafictional fantasy thingers. He writes snappy, clever sci-fi with good plot and action. We're both successful authors, and we both live very happily in our respective corners of the sky. My one problem with this book is that it makes me feel a little threatened. I can honestly say I can't think of another book that ever made me laugh this much. Then later still when I was reading it at home, even though I was alone in the house. I'm saying I actually laughed out loud in the restaurant where I was reading it. It was geeky.īut most of all, it made me laugh. So instead, let me say this: This book was fun. If you want me to go into more detail, I can.
