Really interesting book... as in: strange, unusual, unique, and not what I was expecting. 

Not a typical science fiction book by any means (meaning it's not "realistic," the science isn't explained, etc.), but rather a satirical story set against a backdrop of aliens and flying saucers. 

I really like absurdist literature, and having that in one of my favorite genres (and in a lighthearted way) has been great.
