When I was about two chapters in, I was a little worried that, like Pratchett, Scalzi isn't someone I find funny. Fortunately, the book grew on me as I stuck with it. The story is somewhat picaresque, similar to a little too much candy, geared to typical boy-humor (much farting, for example). Characters sound and for the most part behave the same as each other. Douglas Adams plus farts plus an amusing conclusion, even if parts are predictable.
