5.0 out of 5 stars Human nature from an alien point of view..., June 4, 2005

This review is from: I, Alien (Paperback)

I, Alien collects 27 original stories all drafted from the point of view of aliens, dealing with the odd and occasionally ogresome creature known as man. What could have been just another sci-fi anthology is entertaining and highly original. Some of the stories are pure magic. Diary of a Galactic `Émigré by Laura Resnick kicks the volume off and is laugh out loud funny. Me by Mike Resnik points out that god may not be exactly what man thinks. You be Stephen Leigh is haunting, especially for those of us who read anthologies all the time. Anakoinosis by Tobias Bucknell makes us wonder what man's nature really is, and how we would fit into the nature of other planets.

I am NOT a fan of sci-fi, normally, but I am the fan of a well written short story and this anthology is full of them. This is yet another delightful anthology by DAW, and well worth a read.
