Alien Invasion and Other Inconveniences Audiobook

" Earth is invaded and most people are put to "sleep". The only ones spared are those with some limited ability to telepathically receive communication from the aliens; these humans are now slaves to the invading Sanginians. Many, many interesting ideas here - could be a great discussion group book about species rights, slavery, patriotism and human society. "

" A great "boy" book, with humor, action, and arrogant aliens! "

" Simple language, quick read, very open to sequels. I liked that even the "good" aliens were only open to moving the surviving humans to reservations, making non-natives think about the issue of Indian reservations. "

" Witty and thought-provoking - a really fun read! Recommended! "

" It reminded me a little of Battle: Los Angeles. Except it was good. "

" It reads like a scifi screenplay for Nickelodeon. It's not horrible. "

" If not the feel good alien invasion story that the author envisioned when he first started out, still a funny yarn. "

" Did not pull me into another dimension! "

" It was very well written. It is arguably "cheesy" or "predictable" but not quite cookie cutter. The humor is tasteful. I rarely enjoy my comedy and drama to co-exist, but this comedy-drama is well played. The end is satisfying, and I think it would make for a great movie. "

" Not bad for a YA book meant for middle/high school boys. Apparently it's supposed to be funny/wry/something along those lines, but I didn't find much humor in it what with basically everybody dying in very dry prose. Would have been nice to see more of Jerome. "

" Very well done sci-fi, but the ending didn't feel very . . . over. I'm pretty sure that means first in a series. So hooray! Listened to this one, and the audiobook is fantastic. "

" I liked this book. It actually gets 3 1/2 stars. It was witty and fun at times, and quite sad at others. It really makes the reader think about how we treat out planet, and whether the aliens had that part right. Of course, there is no good reason for the enslavement of the human race... "

" Listened to this one. Really enjoyed it but it better be first in a series. "

" It's not all that often I read a book and wish it were longer but that is what happened with this new SF by Yansky.Jesse is a great character, funny, brave and caring. The paranormal thrown in makes for a very interesting story and I hope there is more to come! "

" Fast paced science fiction that can stand alone, but a sequel would be nice. "

" It isn't perfect. Sometimes the writing seems a little stiff. But it is a very good story that will keep kids interested. Funny when you least expect it. "
