At our September 24th, 2013 Book Discussion meeting, 11 of our club members and/or
associates discussed author John Scalzi's humorous 2012 science fiction novel, "Redshirts"., which won the 2013 Hugo Award for best science fiction novel less than a month ago.
If you're a Star Base Andromeda
member who has read this novel but were not able to attend our discussion, and you would like to offer up your
opinion, please share your thoughts here with the rest of SBA and
anyone else who drops in. As part of your comments, please give "Redshirts"
a score, from 1 to 10 (10 best) and identify yourself by name in your
comments. Although we currently only add rating scores to our website
for local members and associates who participated in the original
discussion or were unable to attend the discussion due to
scheduling issues, we would be curious to see how your opinion
compares to ours!
If you're one of those visitors who just stumbled across us, you're welcome to share your opinion here, too.
Thank you for participating! What did you think of "Redshirts"?
Join us on October 29th for our next discussion: Aldous Huxley's classic novel "Brave New World".

Sorry I missed the meeting--I give it a "9" and applause to whoever chose it!
I would give it an 8.5. Very fun read.
Talked to Clif at the library, and he said he had read Redshirts. He enjoyed it very much, though he thought it was unusually "light" to be a Hugo-winner, which usually carry a bit more gravitas. He gave it 8.5. [SDC per Clif Bridges]
