A sword-wielding milkman, a reporter, bikers and some aliens.. suspend your belief and enjoy the fast paced story about saving the world!

The style of the book reminds me of some books written Alan Dean Foster. Sci-fi in the sense that it has to do with aliens and some advanced technology which isn't explained in any detail. The characters are all cliche but likable. The story is straightforward but has some new enjoyable twists and some campy humor that made me chuckle to myself.

The book was well written -- The prose was straightforward and the story flowed between chapters which left me wanting to read more.

My only complaint is the book was expensive for the small amount of pages -- especially since it was a Kindle download. But I guess everyone has to make a living.

If you enjoyed Army of Darkness, Buckaroo Banzai, or anything in the ouvre known as "Python", you will thoroughly enjoy this book. On the other hand, if you like your plots bulletproof, your characters serious, and your prose...well, prosaic, then this is not the book for you.

Otherwise, hop in, buckle up, and get ready for more gun-totin', alien huntin', trailer trash fun than you can shake a stick at.

The late Bill Hicks would have loved this book that so aptly extends the plotline of his Flying Saucer Tour. Bill always wondered why it was that aliens abducted only yahoo morons from Nowhere, Alabama. Ian Healy explains it all in a manner that would make the writers of Saturday Night Live proud. The Monty Python troupe would applaud, and The A-Team would give a heads up. The Milkman is a little like the work of all these legendary clowns. The story would be silly and frivolous to the max and gag-me-with-a-spoon bad if the author was not such a helluva writer. The jokes break wind like Spinal Tap going to eleven, and the many clever similes will make you giggle with anticipation of the next one. The author uses pop cultural references similar to those in my own first book, Plastic Ozone Daydream. Mr. Healy has a firm grasp of what entertains hip Americans. If you can't handle a few gaseous emissions, look elsewhere, but if you thought Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle was the cat's meow, you may really enjoy The Milkman.

If you're looking for a great read this summer, pick this one up. It's funny and fast paced. The length makes it perfect to take along on a weekend trip.
