The Invaders Plan by L. Ron Hubbard
2.0
After some consideration, I've decided to review this. Actually I'll be reviewing my entire Mission Earth experience.
When I was twelve, I would read basically anything. I would go to the Lewiston NY library, where they had all the new books laid out on a big table, spines up, and I started on the biggest and most colorful SF books I could find. Hence, L. Ron Hubbard. I ate that shit up with a spoon. My sister worked for Waldenbooks at the time (and I would as well several years later) and she hooked me up with each new one as it came out. Things blew up! Characters had deviant sex! Much of it didn't make any sense to me, either! I loved the books so much that I picked up the first five on audiobook, and let me tell you, the audiobooks were actually BETTER. I can't believe I listened to them in the car with my MOTHER. Even with the bleeping, they were raunchy!
Before I finished high school, it occurred to me how terrible the series was. Badly written. Badly ghost-written for that matter. Badly ghost-written Mary Sue action. And yet, they entertained me, so two stars I give this doorstop of a book. At least it's not Dhalgren.
