I found this to be a typical Jenny Randles book so if you're a fan of hers you'll enjoy it. I thought it focused too much on government documents and missing film and not enough on the Men In Black. Randles seems to have gone into the book with the pre-conceived notion that the MIB are government secret agents and spends the next 200 pages trying unsuccessfully to prove it. The book offered nothing new about the topic.

well, if you want the real MiB stories then buy this book... it will blow your mind man... it is absolutelty amazing! BUY!

This is a suprisingly good book.

Randles goes in-depth into a number of bizzare cases. It is interesting reading - if you like novels, I suggest you drop the fantasy and go for some REALITY for a change.

The book is well written and well researched.

I enjoyed reading the case histories and researched info in this book. It did not try to come to any indepth conclusions but left that to the reader. It is a good read on a curious subject and leaves you wanting to investigate this curious phenomen more!

This person who wrote that there was a lack of evidence in this book is right, but to only a certain deegree. Would the MIB be so secret if there was any good evidence? You have to realize that Jenny did what she could with the little known/availible evidence there is on MIB.
I have read my book twice and will again, and every time I enjoy it more. Jenny Randles is an exquisit UFOlogist, and the subject of Men in Black is a hard one to research and publish.
I say in closing that there is only one other book with a piece of evidence that Jenny was unable to publish, because it was not availible yet: a picture of an MIB agent.
Bravo Jenny!
Hope for a sequal

This book didn't really provide much insite into who these MIB really are. I finished wondering just what I wondered when I started. But, the cases mentioned are very intriguing, giving it a 6.

Jenny Randles does what she sets out to accomplish, and opened up the debate to me. I am now interested in the topic, the Men in Black. The book was well written and flowed, I did not struggle through it at all. I was captivated. THis book did not rate five starts because of the British dialect of English, but that is all. Four stars is nothing to gawk at, either....

It's taken me over eight years and two copies of the book to finish it. It started in 1997, when I was in 7th grade. The recent Men In Black movie stirred my interest in the topic and I purchased this book.

I can't remember if I enjoyed it back then, what I do remember is that I left it in class and it was gone when I returned the next day to retrieve it.

Now, fast forward to 2005. I'm in college, hangin' out, having a good time. I come across this book again and decide to purchase it. I was glad I did. I forgot how awesome this book is for the first 100 pages. It goes from very interesting, informative stuff to events that are downright scary.

The main problem with the book is that, towards the end, it gets really boring. Ms. Randles seems to have been scratching for info at this point to complete the book. I recently purchased "A Higher Form of Killing" by Jeremy Paxman. It's about governments of the world using bio-weapons that, of course, we never hear about. Obviously, my attention turned elsewhere and I put "The Truth Behind Men In Black" on the backburner. Upon finishing "A Higher Form of Killing" I pick Ms. Randles book back up to finish it.

Overall, it is a great book. The first 100 pages are the best and are worth the price of admission alone. Don't feel bad if you find yourself putting it down when you get to the end, it just really isn't all the that interesting.

Its good to read local and therefore more interesting possibly more credible UFO news. At times far fetched but nevertheless thought provoking, and what if its all true? Well worth reading, if not for a different angle to the subject

OK, true enough, there actually was some new material , having to do with Men In Black, that mostly originate with UK sightings, however most of the older books on the subject seemed to focus on the MIB sightings in the US. So there was actually some merit to the book. However if you are expecting the TRUTH to suddenly come out and smack you like a trout, forget it, there is still a lot of conjecture and little or no answers,(sorta of like the x files, the truth is out there but we are not gonna tell you now). In fact I did read the whole book expecting to be more enlightened and did go away with some new information, a more practicle title would be, Perhaps more information on MIB's that you havent read before! I am thinking about selling my copy and would have done it already, except for my love of books in general, sometimes it makes it hard for me to get rid of anything with the least bit of extra information.....then again perhaps i will get over it!!!
