Honestly... it was too much to buy that they'd let themselves get bullied by a moronic head of the PTA in such an obvious way. It's firstly just not who they are. Secondly, it makes them look weak and ridiculous - how can they handle galactic war and not this uppity sniffing bitch who is so inept that they have her on camera starting a food fight? With their PR machine, they could have destroyed this woman - and the school right along with her, if the school was part of the problem - by laying out how they'd been treated from the outset with the surprise bake sale, and showing the video of her team starting the fight. That along with the security risk of advertising to the world, for weeks, that the First Lady was there... it was just stupid. Way, way beyond any ability to suspend disbelief. And it was so wrapped through the book that it dragged everything down.
Also, man, I'm so tired of Reader. The way he lectures and blames Kitty for ridiculous things that she is in no way responsible for... Kitty needs to stop putting up with it, and start throwing some of Reader's fuck-ups into his face the way he tries to do to Kitty for everything that goes wrong in her general vicinity. Like This could easily all have become an assassination attempt (and it was frankly shocking that it wasn't), and that would ALL have been on Reader... Mr. I-am-in-charge-and-you-people-need-to-stop-doing-my-job. Maybe Kitty wouldn't do Reader's job so much if Reader actually gave even the smallest hint that he was capable of doing it himself. But no, he's too busy pissing in his territory to actually do shit.

how his team utterly missed that Kitty had been set up for this bake sale, for weeks. How they even went along with her being bullied into it, rather than handling the petty bullshit so she can stay on stuff that really merits her attention. How the whole thing was a spectacular security fail - they had busloads of people coming to a place where they had light security because it was supposed to be private!!!blodeuedd's review against another edition

Kitty does deal with a new scary big bad here, PTA. Dang those women, well woman ;), are scary!
One thing that I am very happy that have changed is that there were less music talk. 500+ pages of constant music references can be tiresome so this book was a total improvement.
Right, to the book then! Book 15, omg I know! When did that happen? Did I not just start reading these?! Now she has 2 kids and her husband is president. And she has a lot more animals ;)
There is always something bad coming. It's like you take down one tentacle and then 2 more come out. Arms that sends out robots, aliens, you never know who to trust. And then there are those stupid Humans first idiots too. They hate all aliens and want them gone.
And then there was the PTA at the new school Jamie is going too. That will give her some trouble too, but then when is Kitty not in trouble? Luckily she is kick-ass and has great friends.
Action, aliens and I need another A! I can't think of a good ending. Dang. Lol.
I read it fast. It felt light and fun.

Going back into the Kitty Katt-Martini world is like going back home after a long stretch away.
I love going back into this world and seeing all these characters that feel like part of my family already.
In Alien Education Kitty and the gang have to deal with not only the different types of bots, droids and borgs that keep popping up, but also with with the kids' first day of school... I bet you don't know which of those is the most complicated ;)
Alien Education is a fast-paced thrill from start to finish and a joy to read. Fifteen books in and I cannot imagine not having this world and people to connect with.
Yes, Alien Education will be better enjoyed if you have read the rest of the series. A lot has gone on and I bet you won't want to miss every single adventure Gini Koch has concocted. As usual it took me a little bit to get into things and remember what had happened, but Gini does the recap so expertly that is practically unnoticeable and even enjoyable at times.
Alien Education is a joy ride that I absolutely adored. Koch has done it again and I am utterly ecstatic that the series is confirmed until book 20 already... I cannot accept a world without more Kitty and co.'s adventures.
If you love this world, Alien Education is a must-read... If you have yet to meet Kitty and the gang, what the h*ll are you waiting for? You won't regret it!

4.5 stars - fantastic addition to the series. New villains to unmask, new friends, new tricky situations for Kitty to negotiate. Love that the kids get a little more "screen time" in this book - love the additions there as well.

Oh, wow, another amazing, fantastic book! Not as much happens change wise, as big as all those aliens coming, but the start of a new bad guy, or at least, more Kitty-found connections! Can't wait for the next on!
