PositiveSan Francisco Book ReviewI recommend this book to anyone who feels like the alien or the outsider or anyone who wants to understand the alien’s point of view. Many of Osondu’s stories look at the aliens as guests, who are shown honor and respect. In a way, Osondu’s stories can be interpreted as mirroring how immigrants are treated compared to how they would like to be treated. Alien Stories is a creative way to tell the stories of outsiders trying to carve their place in a new world, a new home.

RaveSeattle Book Review... an outstanding graphic novel. Working primarily with grays and dark shades of rust, Nesti evokers Smith’s feelings of dread and paranoia. Nesti does a good job depicting Orwell’s dystopian society of ordinary-looking people and run-down places. The imagery that I had in mind while reading the novel was not far off from Nesti’s art. As a graphic novel, this is the perfect book for those politicians who like to reference 1984. There are more pictures and fewer words than the original novel, but it retains all the enduring themes that continue to resonate for many readers.
