4.0 out of 5 stars We are all Martians, 16 Jun 2003
This review is from: The Martian Child: A Novel about a Single Father Adopting a Son (Paperback)
I have read several books by David Gerrold (DG), and I had read his first take on this book when it was published on his web page.
The book gives a very touching and personal description on how it is to adopt a kid. Specially when you are alone about it.

Despite the seriousness of the matter the book is also very funny and gives several vivid descriptions of sitations that arises. DG uses a very rich and descriptive language which is very typical for his books.

The book also have many sad moments, as when adoptive son suddenly swings in mood and expect to be sendt away as he never stayed long at a single place.

The prose of the book is easy to read and the story quite captivating. I read the book in about 3 hours in one sitting. Recommended.
