When Earthlings Weep Michael Barnett 9781614342472 Books

Science Fiction is not my choice of genre normally, but Michael Barnett is such a detailed writer with the most fascinating imagination I've ever read, I chose to read it through after scanning When Earthlings Weep. First, I have to say it did not disappoint! The concept and the amazing descriptions and unbelievably solid, but strange characters is why I gave this a four. The reason I kept one point off was for the sometimes difficult lack of correct punctuation and typos, especially in the beginning of the book. It was distracting and I feel no matter what one's education, professional editing/proofreading is a must. As writers, we don't always catch our own errors. Had this been done, I'm sure this would be a five star book for most.

For me, Mickey's character was a bit confusing (until the end). There was very little build-up in the beginning of the book for his character before the story led right into the 'nightmare' characters and lifestyle. It's just my opinion that there should have been a break here and there or more often going back to Mickey's normal life out of the nightmares. The last few chapters gave me insight into Mickey's normal character before the nightmares. However, if I were a huge science fiction fan as much as I am a crime fiction fan, I would have read this book twice. So I highly recommend When Earthlings Weep especially to you Science Fiction readers. It will be a luscious dessert.

When Earthlings Weep Michael Barnett 9781614342472 Books Reviews

I wasn't going to write a review for this book, but then contacted me and wanted to know what rating I would give it, and, after reading the other 4/5 star reviews (curiosity), I felt compelled to tell my story.

I read the first 3 chapters and returned the book for a refund. (nice that is so good about that) I should have gotten the preview and looked at that. If I had, I wouldn't have ordered the book. (I'm guessing this happens a lot -- the author must be losing a lot of sales -- I hope reports stats like that, because it would be a "clue" to the author) So I suggest others get the preview first to make sure you are okay with it.

I found a very obvious typo on the first page in the first few paragraphs. That was a red flag. As I read on, I found so many gramma-syntac-tical errors that I just couldn't continue. (including spelling, double-wording (e.g. "to to"), seemingly random, excessive, unnecessary, and incorrect comma usage, etc. -- MANY errors per chapter)

I suppose if errors like that don't bother you, I would guess because you don't notice them, then you could probably enjoy the book. (I'll put up with the occasional error, maybe even one per chapter, which is WAY too many, but beyond that it's too much, and starts getting very irritating, so I can't enjoy the book, and I just don't want to continue reading)

The writing style is also kind of "off". It's hard to describe. But I only read 3 chapters, so...

I gave it two stars instead of one, because it does sound like a good idea for a story, and from what little I read, it seemed to be heading in that direction. I wish I could have kept it and read it. I suggested to the author that he find someone to edit the book. If he does that, I would probably re-purchase.
A strange way to tell a story, but it keeps your interest to the end.
When Earthlings Weep is a bold trip between the good and evil within our own existence as funneled through Mickey Thorn. The challenge is to see which side of us is revealed through his ordeal – What is real, what is imagined and what are hopes are.
This book pulls you in from the beginning and keeps you there through the end. The authors ability to describe his incredible imagination gives the reader the ability to see different worlds and strange aliens.
The story was evolving and captivating at the same time. The different types of aliens were fascinating. I enjoyed the Grouchos most of all.
I was attracted to science fiction at an early age, but had little opportunity to the rich selection of titles and types that is available today. So I approached When Earthlings Weep with the notion that I probably would not finish it. But it kept my interest as as Mickey Thorn's bad dreams became real and also self directed. (Turns out they were caused by an experiment in college.) The concepts of folding space, moving from world to world, creature to creature, and even some time travel all fit together to make a very readable book. There is more than enough here to make me interested in Michael Barnett's next book.
