It's a sci/fi book that, according to reader Ken, is about alien lizards who come down to Earth to steal our water, and then make humans their main course meal! The books were actually a TV show once upon a time (in the 1980s, I believe). It was actually comprised of 2 mini series and was a failed weekly show (so I am told).
Ken has a penchant for sci/fi books. The last book he read was a Star Trek book. He enjoys both the TV show and the books but made it known that he is not thrilled at all for the upcoming J.J Abrams movie coming out in May of '09. Oh if you could've seen the disgust written all over Ken's face...
What book does Ken like to recommend to people? On A Pale Horse by Piers Anthony. It's another sci/fi-esque book that he thinks is great because of its insight on death. The book follows a guy in some near-future who kills the Grim Reaper and, as a result, becomes the new "Grim Reaper". He has to decide who gets to die now, how, and all that good stuff. Civil service a la purgatory? Ridic!
Growing up Ken enjoyed Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein for the poems. He also loved The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. Thoughts on the somewhat recent movie adatation? "It was an adequate movie but I thought the cartoon was better."
If he could write his own book? It would be about gaining super powers! The super powers he'd like to have? First he'd like the power of flight. Then he'd like the power of vulnerability. (Interesting)
Do you have a favourite sci/fi book series?
What would your super power be?
