kenjariThe Kaiju Preservation Society
by John Scalzi
This short, fast novel is told from the perspective of Jamie Gray who gets an unusual job offer to work for the Kaiju Preservation Society, a more or less secret organization who studies the giant creatures living in an alternate Earth, and protects them from those who have more stupid and/or evil intentions.
The Kaiju Preservation Society was a tremendous lot of fun. It's Jurassic Park meets Godzilla, with a great ensemble cast and lots of snark and pop culture references. Some of the plot was fairly predictable, but this book is more about taking a great trip to a familiar destination rather than discovering something new. And it really is a terrific trip - exactly the kind of fun I need in these dark times.
