A wonderful story. I am not much of a fan of contemporary science fiction, but I like the way you write. You have revived my adolescent fascination with science fiction.
— READER PRAISE
Genuine reactions from readers around the world who have journeyed through Mike's galaxy.
This story doesn't fit the typical sci-fi mold of far future, evil aliens, dystopian Earth. It's a story of self-discovery, with an alien and some advanced technology.
Your writing has the voice of a good storyteller sitting with friends reminiscing about events in real life.
Great story! Kept me coming back to find out what was going to happen next. A good mixture of science, action, and philosophizing. It reminds me a bit of Asimov's writing — maybe because the voice is straightforward, without poetic flourishes. I'm looking forward to the next book.
Too much sci-fi focuses on hard-to-imagine technology. But nothing in your stories requires a high understanding of technology or astronomy. And the lyrics are great — girl with an attitude.
I love the narrative voice — down-to-earth (no pun intended), strong, and funny. And how could I pass by the title?
I love the parts where the alien sings along with the narrator. Very touching.
Your characters' personalities and voices are strong and clear, even the little alien who doesn't say a word in English. I connect with the alien, Breadbox. Her singing, her tone, her innocent questions and guilt. I find myself thinking it does not matter what she looks like.
I love your story, your characters, the narrative, the tone, and the whole kit-and-kaboodle. What an enjoyable read. What a commanding writer you are.
You have a wonderful way with words and tell a great story. With your insight I might just think you've had some meetings with 'special Aliens.'
A wonderful story. I am not much of a fan of contemporary science fiction, but I like the way you write. You have revived my adolescent fascination with science fiction.
