Journal of a UFO Investigator: A Novel Audiobook

" What a marvel-ous book - a book full of marvels,blending a coming-of-age story with UFO-logy with speculative fiction - fluidly, gracefully, and with a deep heart for the pains of adolescence. "

" This is not a book to be messed with. It is weird, uncomfortable, and mildly disturbing, everything that I usually love about reading, but this book missed the mark by a lot. I think that I really lost interest with the book when the protagonist was abducted and spent 100+ pages aboard an alien aircraft... just bizarre and not in a good way. Choose wisely here readers... this book is one step away from an one star from me. "

" It jumps around A LOT. There are just random sexual things that pop up out of the blue. It gets pretty confusing and I had to constantly go back and make sure I wasn't high and missed something. The end really ties it all together somewhat well. It's good for what it is. "

" You know, the book looks great, it looks fun, but really the two strains of the narrative are so disconnected--Danny's fantasy life gets the bulk of the story, but it's too far etched even for geek-boy fantasy, and the reality narrative of Danny's life (that which will make his fantasy that much more interesting) gets short shrift. To add to this problem, the prose is utilitarian which just left me glossing pages. "

" This book was described as "Part science fiction, part novel of growing up, part surrealist voyage into the imagination..." It was a little intense and I am not much of a sci-fi reader (especially UFO based sci-fi). I did like the way Halperin tapped into his main characters isolation. "

" Sometimes confusing, but truly an amazing book. It really makes you think. "

" Really not what I was expecting, and I was a little disappointed. Otherwise a decent read. "

" This book reminded me of the Blind Assassin, because there are 2 books here. "

" I originally thought this book was a collection of stories told by a person but it turned out it was not. Unfortunately I do not see the point of giving it a good review because I did not care for it very much. The ending could have been better but at least I finished it. "

" A deeply strange book, based in the gloriously odd saucer writings of the 40s and 50s. It lost me around 2/3 of the way through and grabbed me back at the very end. I'd like to read it again some time, as I think it would stand several readings. "

" This was just too weird for me... I was really enjoying it in the beginning and then it went in a totally bizarre direction that I just didn't get. I am sure there was a lot of hidden meaning there somewhere. I just didn't get it. "

" I can not even describe this. Not at all what I had expected, or hoped for. Ick, ick, ick. "

" Entertaining story about an oddball sixteen-year-old kid. I related to the main character, which for me is always a plus in any book. "

" Took forever to finish this book. I didn't enjoy it at all. The narrative jumps all over the place and is confusing at first, but by the end, I knew where it was going but just didn't care. "

" This book made no sense. "

" Interesting, but not pieced together very coherently. I liked the multi-level events, but was still left a little lost in places as to what was real, what was allusion and what was fantasy. It reads a bit like an historical novel documenting early UFO investigations. "
