The Kaiju Preservation Society
by John Scalzi
What is it about:
When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls "an animal rights organization." Tom's team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on.
What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at least. In an alternate dimension, massive dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world. They're the universe's largest and most dangerous panda and they're in trouble.
It's not just the Kaiju Preservation Society that's found its way to the alternate world. Others have, too--and their carelessness could cause millions back on our Earth to die.
What did I think of it:
This is a fun and cool read!
Who can resist reading about a society who's observing and preserving dinosaur like monsters? I couldn't anyway!
This book is a fun and fluffy story. There's some problems and bad guys along the way, but mostly it's a very enjoyable fantasy about an alternate world where we can live next to big Godzilla Dinosaurs.
I liked Jamie and his new friends. The bad guy is glaringly obvious, but that's by design. I really enjoyed Scalzi's writing and world building as well. I might have to investigate his other books.
Why should you read it:
Godzilla Dinosaurs!
