I got just over two thirds of the way through and decided I really wasn't interested in what happened and quite simply couldn't finish it. I think this book really has to be your cup of tea. I didn't laugh, I didn't find it funny.
When Nathan Stubbs doesn't get promoted he decides to take actions into his own hands and orders an alien abduction (well two actually) on the Washington talk-show host John Banion. John then decides to set the world to rights and I can't tell you if he did or not as I only got as far as his march/rally.
At one point I was convinced my copy was a proof as there were a lot of typos in there but it wasn't. I therefore wonder if it is the American style. If you believe Little Green Men are your thing or not you have to like the writing style of this book. The plot itself is an excellent concept which is what I was hoping was going to keep me going. However, it's a good cure for insomnia.

Little Green Men is all about the clandestine organisation that is responsible for the hoaxing of all UFO events, from sitings, through abductions, to "probing" and "harvesting".When a memebr of the organisation does not get the move he desires, he decides to take matters into his own hands and orders the "abduction" of one of Washington's top media personalities. This sets off a chain of events that are amusing to the last. The book opens up the worlds of UFO's, Washington Society and Political Arenas to inspection and ridicule. The characters are not stereotypical, and have a real depth delivered by Buckley's careful portrayal of the human psyche. It is easy to step into any of the shoes of the main players and feel for them. All in all a very good read that will have you tittering away to yourself. As the cover suggests, it is for believers and non-believers alike and despite the comical thread is thought provoking. A strong recommendation from me!!

 A wry look at America's obsession with UFO abductees November 20, 2000

The author of Thank You for Smoking returns with another tongue-in-cheek look at Washington society and capital city politics. When a highly respected political interviewer experiences an extremely close encounter on a golf course, his social standing is destroyed, only to be rebuilt when he gains a huge popular following of fellow abductees. But his abduction is not all it seems thanks to the involvement of a disgruntled employee in an ultra-secret government agency. Lives are threatened and changed forever but the book never causes the smile to fade from your face. How could it when one of the main characters is named Murfletit?

There were points in the book where I was laughing so hard I had to put it down. I was outside on the deck and the neighbours were giving me strange looks. I've recommended it to all my friends. Every once in a while we all need to read something "easy". Enjoy!
