A review by ninj
The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis
4.0
Alien lands in capitalist country, sets about accruing as much money as he can. Discovers the joys of hard liquor along the way. Will his mysterious endeavors succeed?
It's almost 60 years old and has a pulpy feel to it, as books its age do, but it's pretty focused and if you're into human/alien trying to get by with the burden of being in an alien/human environment, this story does that really well. Fairly compact, not drawn out, quite readable. Shifts in POV between alien and humans along the way.
