Review: Not really a serial.

I am really enjoying the book. The so called serial format is bunk I believe. It's feels more like Scalzi wrote a book and is releasing this way to get us all to pay $13 for it. If he wanted to do a serial and charge this just put that price on chapter one and be down with it. Still could have released weekly. Or just sell,the book at $12.99. All of us who think that it is ok for an author to get a good price for his book wether it's paper and ink or electrons would have bought it. The one who rant about printing and shipping and all the rest would buy in three months when the price is lowered to $7.99 or $9.99.I really like John Scalzi, really like his books inclulding this one, not so much likeing the way this one is being released and priced. I will still buy every week but overall i am not too satisfied and I think the whole thing is a bit disingenuous.Do like the other serials on Amazon. Charge the full price for the first chapter, let all the rest magically appear on my Kindle, maybe do a few story changes on the fly after reading the weekly reviews, earn lots of new fans.
