3.5

Fairly lighthearted with cleverly written dialogue, Redshirts starts off well. Character interaction throughout is amusing and the strongest part of the book. However, the ending fell flat and didn't quite hit for me. Scalzi is clearly a fantastic author, but I feel this one kind of got away from him. It was a fun read though and fans of Scalzi will want to pick it up. Not his best stuff, but some of his funniest.
