Moon People 1: The Age of Aquarius

Moon People: The Age of Aquarius
by Dale M. Courtney


Author's Blurb:
This Book is based on the turning point for Earth into a new era of space travel and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. The story focuses on one Man by the Name of David Braymer and his adventures from High school teacher to 1st Science Officer on board the Lunar Base 1 Mobile Base Station and his encounters with Alien Life forms through out our universe and the space Battle of all battles David experiences. I hope you enjoy the many adventures of David Braymer and his conquest in space and our journey into the Age of Aquarius.

My Reaction:
(This was a shared read-aloud with Donald-- another excellent 372-Pages bookclub-podcast selection!)

Wow.  I have to give it a one-star rating based on its complete lack of literary merit, ignorance (or arrogant dismissal?) of basic rules of grammar, printer-paper characters (cardboard has some substance to it, so "cardboard cut-outs" was too generous), water-thin plotting, etc.

BUT.
I say, BUT!
I have to admit that I enjoyed this book significantly more than several other books we've read for 372-Pages. The entertainment value is there!

It all comes down to what you're looking for in a book. If you need a laugh, give it a go (and check out the podcast linked above).

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go whip up some delicious stemage for supper.
