I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought that I would initially. Maybe it was the ominous monolith that is the name SCALZI that permeates the world of sci-fi right now or the fact that the title and concept of a book about elderly people fighting sounded hilariously unappealing. Either of those, really.

It turned out to be a fun, quick read that sets up a pretty interesting future for humanity. There were minor grievances with the plotting but overall it was a fun book and definitely deserves the praise that it has received. I'm an idiot for not reading it sooner.
