The Truth about Martians by Melissa Savage
3.0
I had problems with this book.
I wanted to believe.
And I was supposed to believe that there was extraterrestrial life.
But, my gosh, it was like pulling teeth.
On one hand we had Mylo mourning his brother's death. Then we had his friends, hanging around with him, quoting comic books, and the token smart girl.
Once we finally established that there was indeed a spaceship and an alien, we had had to go back and forth, and argue, and discuss.
I thought, perhaps, martians might parallel his love for his dead older brother, and the story hinted at that, then turned, and left us in the desert.
Too much talking, too little action.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
