    Any additional comments?

    If you like your sci fi mix with comedy like the greats Douglas Adams and Robert Asprin then this book is for you. I loved it. I wish I could find more books that can deliver the mix of sci fi and comedy like the greats. I will be listening to his other books now and see how they turned out.

    Wil Wheaton did a good job on the reading and making the comedy come across in the way it was intended.

    A business professional with a voracious reading habit. My favorites are crime dramas and sci-fi/fantasy, but the occasional romance or history read is great too.

    "Fantastic story!! A must for anyone!!"
    Where does Fuzzy Nation rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    This is one of the best stories I have read on Audible.com. I had never read Little Fuzzy. I can see why H. Beam Piper's family allowed this book to be published.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Jack Holloway, he isn't what you expect.


    What about Wil Wheaton and John Scalzi (Introduction) ’s performance did you like?

    Wil Wheaton is fantastic!! I am a big fan of his acting and now he just re-enforced my enjoyment of his talents. John Scalzi has done a great job! I am a fan now.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    Not wanting to provide any spoilers, but the security tape after the cabin burned down.


    Any additional comments?

    If you want a very good story with mild twists and turns, some laughs and heart string pulling, this is the story for you. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the bonus of having the original story makes it just that much better.

    "You won't want to put this one down"
    What did you love best about Fuzzy Nation?

    This is a great and moving story that will keep you interested all the way through. If you like science fiction and legal thrillers you are going to like this book. While, as a Star Trek fan, I may be biased I think it is also fair to say that Wil Wheaton gives a great performance and an interpretation of characters that really enhances the experience. Great listen!!

    "If You are going to read one SciFi Book..........."

    It's gotta be this one. I never read John Scalzi before. His sense of humor, sarcasm, optimism, environmentalism just captivated me.....I could not sleep regularly because of this book, I wanted to finish it.
    Will Wheaton was a great choice, being Trekkie, I liked Will, but he could do much better job if he were with a little more emotion and animation.....I liked him though.

    And, I can't thank you enough John for writing such an entertaining book when my business was falling apart a little. You book certainly kept my optimism and morale high.
    Thank You

    PS:
    I don't give accolades easily, I grew up in early sixties by reading giants like Asimov, Clarke, Pohl, Agatha Christie...We didn't have any TV or any gadgets....
    We had only our imaginations.

    I am an Australian woman who enjoys reading many different styles of books, from history to sci fi and mystery to poetry. I also love to listen to the same whilst not paying attention to other things. I aim for my reviews to be short and succinct so that they are easy to read.

    "Great stories, great narration"

    Will Wheaton does a terrific job of narrating this wonderful story. I could have done without John Scalzi's input though. An engaging story without being too overly taxing on the old brain matter.

    "Fuzzy Goodness"

    quite delightful.

    I haven't read the original (yet) so, for me, this was its own story.

    I love a book which gets literal LOL moments and this one had a few. Of course having cuddly cat-things didn't hurt, either :)

    As per my always, Will Wheaton is a fantastic narrator! Quite humorous to hear him refer to & give voice to a particular character, which I will let you discover yourself.

    "Good Book, Frustrating Listen"

    Ok, so the book was good - and the bonus of being able to listen to the original version of the story was just that, a bonus.


    But the main purpose of this review is to warn about the character dialog:

    As soon as I started listening to this book I remembered why it had been in my wishlist and not in my library.
    This book reminded me of another of Scalzi's efforts: "RedShirts" - in which the dialog between characters may drive you to distraction.

    "I do" said A.
    "What do you do" asked B.
    "I do what I want" said A.
    "That's not a proper answer" replied B.

    The above may be *readable*, but when narrated all of the "he said, she said" stuff gets very old, very quickly.

    In the future I may stick to the print/kindle versions of Scalzi's books.

    PS: Wil Wheaton, as usual, does an awesome job narrating.

    Would you listen to Fuzzy Nation again? Why?

    I would listen to Fuzzy Nation again.


    What other book might you compare Fuzzy Nation to and why?

    If you enjoy Fuzzy Nation you will enjoy Scalzi's Ghost Brigade Books even more!


    What does Wil Wheaton and John Scalzi (Introduction) bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    I actually feel that Scalzi and Wheaton bring the story to life and bring you into the plight of the Fuzzies. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what Holliday would do next!


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Fuzzy Nation evoked feelings of joy,exaltation,mirth,anger,suspense,sadness,and good winning over evil.


    Any additional comments?

    Nice light listen!

    "I was laughing aloud."

    I was hesitant to get this audio book because I read many negative comments on Amazon, but I like Scazi and Wheaton, so for it anyway, and I am glad I did.

    The characters are interesting. The main one is insufferable and likeable at the same time.

    I have still to finish the original book, but this one stands on its own.
