Kangaroo Too

This is currently in my list of Top 10-ish novels from 2017. I have a somewhat low tolerance level for what I call "tryhard humor" -- humor in SFF which is trying so hard to be funny that it just falls flat for me, and gets annoying really fast. I'm pretty sure that I would read Chen's grocery list if he published it, because he manages to hit my sweet spot with just the right amount of snark and sly humor without going over-the-top of my tolerance. YMMV.

As promotion for Kangaroo Too, Chen created a small website and embedded clues in the book cover for fans to find a "secret" URL where they can play a text adventure prequel to the novel. You can find a brief explanation and all the clues you need here. I just got done with the game and found it enjoyable (but I'm not a gamer apart from spending way too much of my freshman year at university playing Zork instead of going to class).
