Redshirts

Redshirts was an extremely fast read. Not only is it a short book, it moves very quickly. Humorous at times, with a twist in a direction I did not anticipate, I enjoyed the book from start to finish.

Interestingly, the “Three Codas” part actually takes up at least the final fourth of the book. And, as opposed to the rest of the book which tends to maintain a fairly light and silly tone throughout, the codas are surprisingly emotional.

All in all, a quick, fun read, but I don't see myself going back to this one regularly as it is rather thin. I am intrigued by reading something else by John Scalzi, hopefully something with a bit more depth.
