Review: What a waste of money!

The characters in the serialized version of the The Human Division are great, but in the end that's about all it has. Individually, taking each weekly issue as a separate and loosely written part of a single story line the stories vary from poorly written to well written. Taking the whole together either as a single serialized novel it is terrible. At this point there is no real evidence that Scalzi has done anything more than string us along for thirteen weeks with a promise that somehow it would all be tied together in a bundle in the end. Looking back at some of the stories they appear to be somewhat hackneyed and lazily written as if he was just meeting his weekly quota and opening the spigot just enough to see if he could drain a few more dollars out of a story line that has been full of promise but empty of substance. I'm done with Scalzi.
