Both are very meta and recursive and both are loads of fun. If you've ever seen any episode of a science fiction television show and cringed but loved it any way, then I think you will enjoy reading Redshirts.<br /><br />Even though I knew that the main gist of this story was `death by away team' the plot still followed a path that I was not quite expecting so I do not want to give away too many details.<br /><br />I am a quasi-sci-fi-fan. My favorite television show is Doctor Who. I watch Fringe. I loved Firefly. I know my Star Wars and Star Trek just enough. But I've never been to comic-con. I am not a card carrying geek nerd is my point. I just dabble from time to time. I have explained my credentials because I think that's important for recommending a book like this. I loved the book and laughed a lot. It was great fun. I'm not sure how a real science fiction fan would take to the light tone of the book.Luxembourghttp://get4hire.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
