Rating: Summary: High five Review: I love, love, love this book. I got this book about 10 years ago, and it brought my imagination to life, and what an imagination. When there is something stressful going on in my life I pull out this book and just drift into another world. The descriptions are so vivid, the pictures just come to life. I just wish there were pictures of Arthur C Clark's novels.
Rating: Summary: Barlowes Guide to Extraterrstrials Review: If your looking for a good read this is the book for you, it includes splendid illustrations and tells about each creacher in great detail. Also this wonderfully composed book includes the source(book)from which each alien comes from.READ
Rating: Summary: I thought this book was interesting. Review: The alien drawings were well designed. All the aliens had deep roots in science and were realistic.
Rating: Summary: Cool !!!!!!! Review: The premise of this book is: The authors have taken various characters from various science fiction works and have visualy recreated them and write about some of their culture from what is in the books. This is one of the best Science Fiction art books I've ever read!!! and if you've read some of the books that these aliens are recreated from it's even better!!!! Colorful pictures, explanations, and even a couple of pages showing the comparative sizes of each of the aliens!!!!

Rating: Summary: BARLOW AT HIS BEST Review: this book is terrific. the paintings, the text, all crisp,and imaginative. The pictures are quite lifelike and a great amount of effort was put into this wonderful book. My favorite, The Demon, is in my opinion done very well, as are the dirdir,pnume,and the pupeteer pictures, but all of the pictures are very good. If you love aliens/science fiction, i really recommend this book!
Rating: Summary: Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials Review: This is a wonderful book with detailed pictures and descriptions of aliens light and dark,good and evil, cruel and kind, and large and small. It has vibrant illustrations that grab the eye, and descriptions that send the mind and imagination to worlds millions of light years away. You will not find these alien faces anywhere else but in this book. I would recommend it to any science fiction lover who can get their hands on it.
Rating: Summary: This book is way cool! Review: This was one of my favorite books when I was a kid just starting out to read Science Fiction. It's sort of like one of those "real" nature books with drawings, habitats, and biological information, but it's all about aliens from major Science Fiction authors. You figure the authors of this book have got to have a lot of information to put something like this together. For those of a puerile nature (or those who read a lot of Niven's rishartha), they even have some alien species' mating habits. In the middle there is a scale diagram of all of the aliens' sizes which was my first exposure to the wonderful world of the metric system. Buy it, read it, in will enrich your Science Fiction library

Rating: Summary: Awesome Artwork Review: Though I usually let my imagination do he work, these pictures for the most part surpassed me. They are marvelous! A must have for any SF fan.
