Alien Blue is definitely a different story than I am used to reading. I read very little sci-fi and this one has all the makings of science fiction. I did laugh quite a bit in the beginning. Bill, the owner of the bar, had quite a few good one liners. In the beginning. However, as the story progressed he didn't seem as funny any more.There were quite a few characters to keep track of. I found it difficult to keep Mel and Mimi straight. They were completely different (Mimi was a teenager and Mel was a secretary) but for me their lines blurred a lot. And once disaster strikes I found it even more troublesome keeping everyone straight.The storyline which entailed turning blue alien goo into beer was a really unique idea. And through to 70% of the novel I was really enjoying it. I did find it to be quite convoluted in the end and I'm not really sure I'll read part two.
