Summary

Martians, Go Home,originally published in 1955, is a comic science fiction novel that tells the story of Luke Devereaux, a science fiction writer who witnesses an alien invasion of little green men. These Martians haven't come to Earth to harm anyone - just to annoy people. Unable to touch the physical world, or be touched by it, they take great pleasure inwalking through walls, spying on the private lives of humans - and revealing their every secret. No one knows how to get rid of these obnoxious little aliens, except perhaps Luke. Unfortunately, Mr. Devereaux is going a little bananas, so it may be difficult for him to try - but not impossible.

Old school

Been a fan of Fredric Brown’s short stories for decades but this the first time I’ve read one of the few novels he wrote. Anyway the story is fun but feels like an extended version of the old joke about imagining a fish inside sealed bottle and being asked to get the fish out of the bottle . You imagined the fish in so just imagine the fish out.

Thank gord it didn’t cost me

A first I had high hopes for this, it started well and I found myself enjoying it, but by the second or third chapter this waned and the only reason I needed up finishing it was because having spent a 3+ hour journey with it in the car felt I needed to prove to myself that I hadn’t wasted the hours of my life I’d lost in listening to this crud. Unfortunately I failed to prove that to myself and felt the end of the book came as slow and painfully as a tooth extraction without anaesthetic. When it finally finished, I get the only thing I could do for the good of mankind was to write this warning, so that others may heed its words. Avoid this tosh, don’t waste your valuable time, listen to something with a better plot, better reader and more interesting narrative. Anything… no really ANYTHING. Even War and Peace will be better than this.
