The gimmick of the book is very much the same as in [a:Pelevin|6597270|Viktor Pelevin|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66-251a730d696018971ef4a443cdeaae05.jpg]'s [b:t|7100173|t|Victor Pelevin|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1329258142s/7100173.jpg|7357986] which I liked a lot as well, but Redshirts in addition combines it with a problem, painfully (as in laughing so hard it hurts) familiar to any fan of the original series. And, in a true recursive meta fashion, Scalzi's characters realize the unoriginality of their predicament on multiple levels and use it to their own advantage. I have to disagree with the criticism by some reviewers of the three codas, I felt it really adding to the story - sort of like how the two stories of [b:Lanark|161037|Lanark|Alasdair Gray|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327948704s/161037.jpg|958496] add to the novel. And yes, making Wesley Crusher read it was the most brilliant, even if obvious, move by audible.
