REVIEW & GIVEAWAY - DEAR MR. ALIEN,... by Yannis Karatsioris



Review & Giveaway: Dear Mr. Alien, …
by Yannis Karatsioris



First I'd love to say thank you to Mr. Karatsioris for sending a paperback copy of "Dear Mr. Alien,…" to me!

I just finished this book and I loved it! It's a lovely, refreshing read with a lot of humor in it. I could totally relate Paul to the kid I used to be at his age. The questions he asks of the Alien, the advice he gives, the stories he has to tell to the Alien - each letter depicts Paul's view of the world, which I really appreciated. I loved the way Paul used "Easter lamp" instead of "Easter lamb", and the months made me smile.

This book was also a surprise to me in terms of its genre. Before "Dear Mr. Alien,..." I read "The Abyss Wars" Saga and "The Book of the Forsaken" by Yannis Karatsioris, and they are very different from this book. While the aforementioned books are aimed mainly at an adult audience, "Dear Mr. Alien,..." can be enjoyed by both children and adults alike, which shows the author's proclivity at producing various genre books aimed at different age categories. Well done!

Looking forward to the author's next book, whatever genre it is going to be! 


***  GOODREADS GIVEAWAY  ***

Don't miss it! Mr. Karatsioris has started a Giveaway
for a physical copy of “Dear Mr. Alien, …” on Goodreads.

THE BOOK’S DESCRIPTION

Greek eight-year old, Paul, decides to start a correspondence through letters with an alien.
Rumor has it that aliens will destroy the world by the end of 2012 and Paul has taken on the task to convince the aliens not to attack the earth, by describing all that he knows about our planet.
In these twelve letters, a door is opened for the readers young enough at heart to understand the analogic humor a child's mind can present at times. While at other times, this same door leads to conclusions heavier than the everyday truth of a grown-up.
