 If you come into reading this book with the mindset of "UFOs are all garbage and people are mistaken", you're not going to enjoy this book in the slightest. It's about the authors abduction experience, and it's not really going to sway you one way or another if you're a single-minded debunker.

I do enjoy forteana/high strangeness and picked this up after hearing a lot about it in a few facebook groups around the topic. I found it interesting to read, it presented some alternate theories on why ufonaughts would be visiting us and overall I found it compelling. It is hard to read in spots just because of the nature of the subject matter - it's vague because the author doesn't know anymore than he's telling us and doesn't understand it all.

The overly spiritual last chapter wasn't entirely my cup of tea and I did find it a bit rambly in places, but that doesn't take too much away from the rest of the book.
