John Scalzi has outdone himself with ‘Redshirts’, a book that shows how people who are thought to be expendable can break the system and come out on top.
Neat book mate

Every universe you write a book on is another universe that an author is destroyed. Scalzi please don't kill us I don't want to go mad with power. The story was also very predictable due to the invisible star trek patterns that scalzi figured out. But don't worry we will end this madness once and for all.
Last of Several Hundred

I have read multiple hundreds of books in my life and this has got to be the dumbest most disappointing book that I have ever read. I actually thought that the part with the crazy machines had to be a dream and when I realized that it was actually real I almost quit reading. I just had to quit later on anyway. This is even more disappointing considering all of the enjoyment which I have derived from all of the other books that I have read by this author.
It's Good

Take Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, and the movie Galaxy Quest. Through in references from Star Wars, Dune, and The 6 Million Dollar Man, and you've got Redshirts a pretty funny and pretty touching story.
Hilariously thought provoking.

A trip through space through the eyes of the often overlooked with enough twists to keep you reading. A must read for anyone that likes the space military books or shows.
Oh well, it was mostly good.

This is a really good read, for the first 200+ pages. Then it really takes a turn for the worse. I've read most of John's books and had nothing to criticize. You'll like the story. Great fun. But skip the last 30-40 pages.
Stunned it Won

I am stunned that Redshirts won the Hugo. I keep googling it to make sure I didn't misread it or something. But it did. It won the Hugo. Not that it's terrible or anything. It's OK, but that's about all you can say for it. What on earth has happened to the Hugos? Maybe it all really is just a bad science-fiction television show.
Surprises you

I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. It was a great read that also provides excellent social commentary.
