4.0 out of 5 stars Out of this World!, 30 Aug 2001

By	Mr. TM JONES "Knowledgesponge" (South Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Little Green Men (Paperback)

Little Green Men is all about the clandestine organisation that is responsible for the hoaxing of all UFO events, from sitings, through abductions, to "probing" and "harvesting".

Whent a memebr of the organisation does not get the move he desires, he decides to take matters into his own hands and orders the "abduction" of one of Washington's top media personalities. This sets of a chain of events that are amusing to the last.

The book opens up the worlds of UFO's, Washington Society and Political Arenas to inspection and ridicule. The characters are not stereotypical, and have a real depth delivered by Buckley's careful portrayal of the human psyche. It is easy to step into any of the shoes of the main players and feel for them.

All in all a very good read that will have you tittering away to yourself. As the covers suggests, it is for believers and non-believers alike and despite the comical thread is thought provoking. A strong recommendation from me!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Left unfinished, 17 Jul 2007

By	SJSmith (UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Little Green Men (Paperback)

I got just over two thirds of the way through and decided I really wasn't interested in what happened and quite simply couldn't finish it. I think this book really has to be your cup of tea. I didn't laugh, I didn't find it funny.

When Nathan Stubbs doesn't get promoted he decides to take actions into his own hands and orders an alien abduction (well two actually) on the Washington talk-show host John Banion. John then decides to set the world to rights and I can't tell you if he did or not as I only got as far as his march/rally.

At one point I was convinced my copy was a proof as there were a lot of typos in there but it wasn't. I therefore wonder if it is the American style. If you believe Little Green Men are your thing or not you have to like the writing style of this book. The plot itself is an excellent concept which is what I was hoping was going to keep me going. However, it's a good cure for insomnia.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fast Fun Weekend read!, 31 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Green Men (Hardcover)

There were points in the book where I was laughing so hard I had to put it down. I was outside on the deck and the neighbours were giving me strange looks. I've recommended it to all my friends. Every once in a while we all need to read something "easy". Enjoy!
