Book Review: Starter Villain – John Scalzi

April 30th, 2025

I haven’t done this a lot, not sure how much I will in the future, but recently, I decided to get through the huge backlog of books that I’ve had sitting around. Mostly, that’s been done by cutting the majority of social media out of my life because it’s just crap, so I went back to reading for a couple of hours a day instead of staring at a screen. Best decision I’ve made recently. So I’ve made it through a bunch of books in the last couple of weeks, but this time, I wanted to talk about Starter Villain, a 2023 novel by John Scalzi. Was it any  good? Let’s find out.

Those Who Can’t…

Over the past couple of days, I’ve watched a bunch of writing videos on YouTube and I’ve started to realize something. It’s probably nothing new and I should have recognized it before, but the people who put out the most videos on writing are also the people who, in general, have written the fewest books.

Seriously, why bother?

Let It Die!

I just caught a video from Film Threat on AI and the death of Hollywood and while I usually like what Chris Gore has to say, this time I disagree. Granted, he depends on the survival of Hollywood for his livelihood and he doesn’t want things to change, but I’m not at all like that.

Let Hollywood die!

See you below the fold.
