It reminded me in a way of a blonde female version of the 1984 John Sayles movie “The Brother From Another Planet,” which is silly and entertaining in a similar manner.
Obviously too you have to be in the mood for this kind of reading, because it will either seem incredibly stupid or quite funny.įortunately, I was in a receptive mood when I read this, and I enjoyed it. If this sounds like a 60’s over-the-top cult movie, that’s probably because it reads like that as well. Needless to say, every guy on Ethar wants to repatriate Kricket and make her his consort. Not only that, but it turns out, as the daughter of a priestess who took her to Earth to protect her, Kricket has some special powers as well. There, she is regarded as different for being small, petite, and voluptuous.
However, the reasons she stands out in a crowd on Earth are different from those that make her unusual on the planet where she is from, Ethar. The book begins in Chicago, but it is immediately clear that Kricket is no ordinary Midwestern girl.
Kricket Hollowell is 17, abnormally tall, blonde, angular, and beautiful, with violet eyes and long platinum blonde hair that mysteriously can’t be cut. When I began, I was getting vertigo from excessive eye-rolling, but I was glad I persevered, because if one approaches this book in the right way it can be quite entertaining. This young adult scifi first book of a trilogy has both good and bad elements.
