Redshirts. John Scalzi. 2012. Tor. 320 pages.
Redshirts is definitely a
quick read. And it was fun in places, I admit. It definitely had a fun
and playful premise. There were a few scenes that I enjoyed very much,
but then there were a couple of scenes that disgusted bothered me. The premise was
interesting and would probably make this one a good read no matter
what. But I found the characterization a bit uneven, and there were a
few characters that I just did NOT like at all. I really liked the hero, Andrew Dahl, and I enjoyed spending time with him. But
unfortunately, I didn't like the company he kept. One friend really irritated me. I hated every conversation and scene with this one person.
I wish this one had been a cleaner read. So much of the adult content was completely needless in my opinion. I do think others will enjoy this one more than I did.
