Other Worlds' Rating: 9 out of 10 stars
Alien Invasion and Other Inconveniences is a witty science-fiction adventure. It is told from the point of view of Jesse, a young teenager whose life is turned upside down when telepathic aliens called "Sanginians" conquer earth in ten seconds.
Jesse is spared during the invasion because he is "superior product", and finds himself in the home of the leader of the alien invasion. He, and the other humans he meets there, are hopeless that they will ever escape, or get their lives back. But when an imprisoned human girl starts visiting Jesse in his dreams, Jesse starts to question how invincible this new alien race really is.
This book is funny, though-provoking, and engaging all at the same time. The story being told through Jesse's eyes makes it humorous, but all the more real. This book even has a little bit of a commentary on corporate corruption, and on loyalty in the face of hardship. This book is a great read, regardless of whether you like alien invasion stories or not.
I highly recommend this title.
