Alien's are not scary.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I really enjoyed this book. It let's me know that even if you are twins you are not the same. The author is very imaginative. They did not make the Aliens scary, they are almost humans. It also made me understand that if you do bad things to others that there can be a pay back in the end. It shows that telling the truth is so much easier than telling lies. I had fun reading the book with my mom, it started out slow and then I could not put the book down. I hope that other kids pick up this book and read it because it makes you imagine that Aliens can be real but not scary.
Rates with the best!

Anyone who has enjoyed Terry Bisson's SF and Fantasy creations, probably knew it all along. He was bound to be good at this sort of thing. Together with Stephanie Spinner, Bisson has given us (and our kids) a romping good story. There's plenty of humor to offset our anxiety over the twin protagonists. And there's just enough payback for the twin villains! I only hope Bisson and Spinner had as much fun with this book as we did, so they'll think about doing another one soon.
I know it's supposed to be a kids book...

...but it's a ton of fun for an adult like me. Fun, fresh, and even surreal, "First" teaches readers (especially youth) not just to enjoy reading but also to question what we see and read. Recommended!
