Overall, light and entertaining action packed SF book, but I don’t understand the hype at all (see Amazon review score..). Feel free to react to what I said!

The hype is more than likely due to his huge online cult following.
I enjoyed the series. And Scalzi's definitely an interesting dude -- check out his "Whatever" blog if you need a good chuckle during the day.
The final book of the series (Zoe's Tale), while still quality writing, is basically a re-telling of
The Last Colony from a different character's perspective. That seemed a little cheap to me... so I didn't feel the need to finish it.
But, yeah... great, fun, military-scifi stuff from the current SFWA president.
