The truth is that I didn't have much luck in my previus encounters with Scalzi's works, however, this time I enjoyed it. Scalzi moves through several tropes of science fiction, and mocking them(Godzilla, Pacific Rim, Jurassic Park), and gives a quite unlikely explanation of the rules of this world with Kaijus!, but the conversations-sometimes silly- between characters, the somekind down-to-earth protagonist and the rest, leads a good pace that manages to maintain interest and entertain.
And, while you're at it, also comments about the business practices, the loss of jobs during the Covid pandemic. However he ends up on a very much blockbuster american movie way.

{Esta vez en castellano:}
Cuando Jaime Gray pierde su trabajo, un encuentro fortuito le abre literalmente otro mundo.
La verdad es que lo que había leído antes de que Scalzi no habia gustado mucho, sin embargo, esta vez disfruté con este libro. Scalzi se mueve a través de varios tropos de ciencia ficción, y burlándose de ello (Godzilla, Pacific Rim, Jurassic Park), y da una explicación bastante inverosimil de las reglas de este mundo con Kaijus!, Pero con las conversaciones, a veces bobas, entre los personajes, y su protagonista que parece anodino, consigue llevar un buen ritmo que logra mantener el interés y entretener.
Y, de paso, también comentar sobre las prácticas comerciales, la pérdida de empleos durante la pandemia covid. Aunque si bien termina muy en tono de pelicula taquillera norteamericana.
Para pasar un buen rato.
