Although this book isn’t at all literary, it evoked strong emotion. I picked this up figuring it would be light, since the last two novels I read were anything but. Aliens and birding felt right. This was a quirky, interesting novel that moved quickly and had strong character development. I enjoyed it. I think it would make a strong screenplay. For a debut novel especially, I am impressed.
