[Jorge Villarruel · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not finished but I'm done with this crap! I only bought this book because Stephen Bissette's illustrations, but the writing is really bad. Please don't read it, unless you really like books with complete morons as characters, but accidental morons, not deliberate, that is.

A man in black who falls in love with a girl and then wants to expose the evil deeds he and his bosses have been up to, a psychoanalyst who falls in love with the first nice guy she meets who happens to be a man in black who tells her stories about ufos and she then believes it all, a scientist who is convinced the voice he hears in a computer speaker is god... c'mon!

If it was satire or comedy, it would be great. But this is serious stuff. So, no, this is bullshit in all levels.

[Christi · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was just too much for me, as far as suffering and violence. I did like how the author used the theory that when people thought they were seeing the second coming of Christ that it was actually an extra-terrestrial visit. To me, that was a good premise, but the rest of the book contained horror after horror, and after a while that became boring.
