The book was more than I thought it was and luckily for both the book and myself, I didn't give up on it by page 40. The Alien Club The Outsiders Lord of the Flies Carrie I believe it's referred to as excellent story telling! The book tells a story with each chapter getting not only better than the previous, but more intense in every aspect.
I do not think 40 pages (not 50ish) as some have stated as being too long to get going. I have read the other reviews on the book and though I appreciate their issues with the beginning, I found the first couple of chapters necessary in setting up the characters, theme and plot. I cannot recommend this book enough - I think the book is going to be a classic and I can see myself reading this book several times throughout my life. The Alien Club weaves the themes, along with other pertinent topics, such as sexuality seamlessly. I was a victim of both parental abuse and bullying. Touching on topics I felt relevant without shoving them in my face. It made my laugh and get somewhat teary eyed.
The Alien Club was an emotional rollercoaster for me. The Alien Club is the crossroads of The Goonies, The Outsiders, The Lord of the Flies and Stand by Me (The Body). Wrought with heroism and hilarious happenings, The Alien Club is a truly mesmerizing journey created by a series of tragic and fanciful events that are thrust into motion by seemingly mundane issues that grip and alter the trajectory of an innocent youth. The Alien Club follows the path forged by a ten-year-old boy, blindly clawing his way through the confusing, frightening and utterly fascinating life afforded him via a magical neighborhood situated in suburbia USA, during the summer of 1979. With no handbook and nowhere to turn, you’re forced to blaze a path to greatness you’re not even sure is your destiny.Ī rich tale of love and war, and the interpersonal relationships that forge them both. An alien landscape that stretches from your front door to your first love can be more bizarre, beautiful and unforgiving than any other planet in the Universe. The feelings, sensations, decisions and ramifications of your actions are uncharted territory. When everything is your first, you’re an alien.
