Review: Silly encounters with inept aliens

The human family in this story had my sympathy, but the aliens seem just plain dumb. They've been working on an alien-human hybrid for a century; have been abducting Melanie since childhood; abduct her children; regularly abduct and experiment on hundreds of others--all while remaining undetected. Oh, and after achieving interstellar travel. Then they leave the whole plot in the hands of one OB-GYN and a crazed college student and let the delivery occur Earth-side. Would advanced aliens allow the fate of their grand experiment to be decided by a car chase? Sorry, couldn't buy it. Glad that others enjoyed the book. While I'm being negative, the cover with the alien baby doing "glad hands" just seems silly.
