I've finished reading 'Redshirts' by John Scalzi today which is another double award winner (Hugo / Locus SF). Many reviews go into detail about what the book is about and I think I am going to find it hard to review without spoilers but I will say I found it very funny, very clever with a couple of significant plot twists which take the book in different directions. It is a light read and one needs to switch their brain off a little to follow the logic of the book but that doesn't denigrate from one's enjoyment. It's funny and quirky and very 'meta'. I'm keen to read more of Scalzi after this.
