The prologue in Redshirts was hilarious though the rest of the book didn't particularly wow me. I think I'm just not a big Scalzi fan because Old Man's War was also just kind of "okay" for me. It's amusing when it plays with tropes, but I think I just didn't particularly like the characters.

I remember the Codas being a really fun treat though. (Part of that is maybe the way they were so experimental, and at the time I read it I didn't have a lot of experience with something like them.)
