Reviews Of The Book On BooksShelf
Just like most of the other readers, that reviewed John Coon's Alien People, I can say, that the thing that I loved the most about the book is the way that we, humans, are portrait. I mean, when you think about it, we are basically animals ... But the way John Coon paints the picture - it can surely make you see the world from a different angle.
About the characters - I would have loved to see a bit more interaction between the protagonists, their whole relationship was a bit gray.
The story is amazing - portraying Earth as a distant world filled with angry, dumb and violent aliens. That was fresh and interesting.
Overall the book did not disappoint, I am 100% a fan of Mr. Coon and will be sure to get my hands on more of his books.
