Summary of Correia's early efforts to get himself nominated for a Hugo, and transformation into the Sad Puppies group.

Plus there's the whole effort to destroy the Hugos by "getting underrepresented white minority conservative writers" 'represented.' (2). His latest blog is ranting against the campaign to raise awareness about the abducted schoolgirls, as well as mocking the men involved in the anti-pedophile campaign. (1) Stars removed on 05/14 due to author behavior regarding the Hugos, liberals and generally being a lackwit. Still overall-very fast paced read that I didn't want to put down. It felt a little Hollywoodish when (view spoiler) Hard to top that for the final fight. It was a little surprising to me to find it in such an action oriented book, but at least is remained secondary and didn't dominate Owen's thoughts or the storyline. The secondary romantic plot was unsurprising in development or resolution.
Correia does a good job of making the ultimate evil frightening, especially when using Owen's psychic connection to give insight into C.O.'s megalomania. The overall plot involves confronting one of the ultimate evils that abound, and while there isn't much mystery surrounding the final confrontation, there were a few twists along the way that had me surprised. It was also nice in the way his voice engaged me into Owen's point of view the introduction to the world of monsters, the love of guns and his growing competency in fighting monsters.
A Twilight reference made me laugh but may end up dating the book. Flashes of humor and modern references kept the voice fresh, making me feel like although he took situations seriously, he also saw the humorous side. As such, his language is straightforward, but not so simplistic that I was bored. The first person point of view is told by an unusual hero a large, "ugly," now scarred accountant who was raised in family that emphasized guns and survival skills. Turned out to be an engaging read, and I'll definitely check out the next book in the series.
