“This is a lightly likable first-contact novel, in which the hideous but friendly aliens contract with a Hollywood agent to manage their first appearance to humans. It's a very fast read, as compared with some of the other novels and short-story collections I read this year, and it was great to finish off on winter break. I particularly liked the main character, Tom Stein, an agent with a literary bent -- maybe too good to be true, but this is fiction, after all. I'l read more books by Jhn Scalzi. ”

“Scalzi is an engaging storyteller with a great sense of character. In this, his first novel, he creates (and resolves) a problem of extra-planetary proportions. You can't help but like the protagonist and the alien race is interestingly conceived and beautifully written.”

“Quite a bit different from his "old man's ..." series. This is set in current time Hollywood and is far, far less serious. Not a bad thing.”
