Maybe I’m missing something because I never saw the Alien or Aliens movies, but this was possibly the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. There really isn’t much of a plot beyond aliens = bad, must be killed. The story is told from various points of views, with flashback sequences and dreams embedded. However, the transitions from one character to another are not clear cut, and the entire narrative just feels disjointed. The illustrations are okay, but nothing spectacular. Overall, I could not recommend this book as it is just not my cup of tea. ( )
