This is the third book I have read from this amazing author.  He also wrote Brain: The Man Who Wrote the Book That Changed the World, and Mr. Psychic.  I loved these other two books and gave them full rankings.This one is a different outtake but with the same formula for humour and a spiritual transcendence at the end.  This time, it is space beings that observe Earth and even join in on the fun at Earth.My favourite part of this book was when an attractive character, Marcy, picks up the two aliens, who have switched to human form as two good-looking young men, and their banter is really hilarious. An example: she says, "My name is Marcy, by the way," and one of the aliens says something like, "Nice to meet you, Marcy By the Way."  And so on, she asks them questions, and they respond with bizarre answers because they know so little about Earth.This book is never boring, it's just that some of the humour falls flat.  But there are so many zingers, that enough find their mark!
