This is a not easily categorized novel, like all the great ones are. Most of the folks who believe in alien conspiracies believe in other, less socially acceptable conspiracies, but Jimmo is not among their number, which makes you almost want to believe him. However, apart from the belief in aliens, Jimmo seems pretty normal. Jimmo has survived several alien abductions, and he's always got his eye out for agents of the extraterrestrial forces that have been ruining everything (global warming is on them for example) in recent memory.
He's the type of character you'd make the mistake of saying “hello” to over morning coffee, and you wouldn't be able to get away from until midnight.
Our hero is a refreshing indigent man who goes by the name of Jimmo. Now, here's a book that stands up and demands to be noticed! There's something very refreshing about a novel written in the first person in an extremely colloquial narrative voice. I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley. Overall, not for me I'm afraid so this is a rare one that I didn't finish but I'm sure some will love the humor of it. Now I'm not one that complains about a sexy read but when it involves alien probes and the like, not really sexy. The humor of it seemed to be a bit on the juvenile side to me but the content was most definitely all adult with the excessive language and sexual situations. Everything is alien and/or a conspiracy in the making which ok, it was funny for a short time but just a bit too much for me.Īlso, I'm not even sure how to describe this one overall. Quite honestly he just came across as too manic/frantic for my taste. The writing in here is good enough but for me I just did not enjoy the main character. It started off a bit humorous which is what I was hoping for when picking it up but it quickly lost it's charm so I had to give up on it. Unfortunately for me I ended up not finishing this one.
Truck Stop Earth is about Jimmo, a character that believes in aliens and abductions making his way up to Alaska to the center of the Alien Occupation Government outside of Della, Alaska.
