Summary: Number 2 in my top ten favorite books of all time
Comment: For me, this rates among the ranks of the Harry Potter books. Even though I'm about 5 grades above the reading level for this book, I laugh every ten pages, on average. I read this book like four years ago, and it's even better the second time.

Rod Allbright is the most honest person you'll ever meet. He can't tell a lie if his life depended on it. This causes him some trouble, as you might imagine, but not as much as the aliens on the good ship FERKEL who come crash-landing through his window. These are Captain Grakker, Madame Pong, Tar Gibbons (a gibbon is actually a real-life tropical Asian ape with a slender body and long arms), Snout, and Phil. Soon Ron is drafted to the position of Deputy to help them arrest the interstellar criminal BKR.

The book starts off pretty quick--not even twenty pages pass before the aliens land. However, the action is not immediate. This gives us a good chance to meet the characters, instead of just watching them run from explosions and stuff. And they are all pretty well-developed, with the possible exception of Phil, since he only has twenty or thirty lines altogether.

Bruce Coville's is some of the best writing I've ever seen. There's so many little details and subtle messages that really help the book move and add depth to the characters. At the same time, he remembers that a kid is thinking this, and fills it with realistic boyish wonder and actions. Well, except not being able to ever tell a lie. But hey, that's what makes Rod Rod.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has even a slight interest in bizarre. It's the fine writing from Bruce Coville seen here that makes me wonder why that haven't adapted any of his works into a movie.

Summary: This was a terrific book!
Comment: "Aliens Ate My Homework" was a wonderfully well written book about aliens and their adventures. Bruce Coville created a wide variety of characters who lead you through a brilliant plot. Rod Allbright- a sixth grader who cannot tell a lie, Grakker- the hot tempered captain of the good ship Ferkel, Madame Pong- a highly respected diplomatic officer on the Ferkel, Flinge Iblik (Snout)- the Ferkel's Mental Officer, Tar Gibbons- a warrior who could kill you with his little finger if so desired, and Phillogenus esk Piemondum (otherwise known as Phil)- The ship's Scientific Officer (pretty much the ship's handy man). These are the assorted charcters that Bruce Coville decided should come alive in the masterfully written "Aliens Ate My Homework." Other books you might like (if you enjoy this one) are "I Left My Sneakers in Dimension X," The Search For Snout," and "Aliens Stole My Body" all of which were written by Bruce Coville and are included in the Rod Allbright series.

Rating: 5
Summary: Aliens are out of this world!
Comment: On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with 5 stars being the best I rate this book 5 stars because I liked the book and the aliens in the book are an advanced species and they have a ship named Ferkel. Rod Allbright says, "I cannot tell a lie." And he can't, even when six aliens crash into his bedroom and eat his homework. He is in big trouble. This book was sort of like Jim Henson's Muppets from Space: The Junior Novelization because the aliens come down from space.
