Summary: This was a terrific book!
Review: "Aliens Ate My Homework" was a wonderfully well written book about aliens and their adventures. Bruce Coville created a wide variety of characters who lead you through a brilliant plot. Rod Allbright- a sixth grader who cannot tell a lie, Grakker- the hot tempered captain of the good ship Ferkel, Madame Pong- a highly respected diplomatic officer on the Ferkel, Flinge Iblik (Snout)- the Ferkel's Mental Officer, Tar Gibbons- a warrior who could kill you with his little finger if so desired, and Phillogenus esk Piemondum (otherwise known as Phil)- The ship's Scientific Officer (pretty much the ship's handy man). These are the assorted charcters that Bruce Coville decided should come alive in the masterfully written "Aliens Ate My Homework." Other books you might like (if you enjoy this one) are "I Left My Sneakers in Dimension X," The Search For Snout," and "Aliens Stole My Body" all of which were written by Bruce Coville and are included in the Rod Allbright series.

Summary: SO COOL!
Review: Aliens Ate My Homework, by Bruce Coville, is about a boy named Rod and 5 little aliens named Madame Pong, Grakker, Phill, Tar Gibbiens and Snout. In the story, Rod meets the 5 little aliens who need his help in fighting the forces of evil! My mom found it in the library, and once I started reading it, I couldn't stop! If you like humorous and adventurous books, you will love this one!

Summary: Calling all Sci Fi lovers
Review: Calling all Sci Fi lovers. Even if you do not like science fiction and you like aliens you will love this book. It is a book about a boy who does not have a very interesting life. You are probably wondering what I mean. He gets bugs squashed in his hair every day and one day aliens crash landed in his science project . The rest is hilarious.

Summary: Number 2 in my top ten favorite books of all time
Review: For me, this rates among the ranks of the Harry Potter books. Even though I'm about 5 grades above the reading level for this book, I laugh every ten pages, on average. I read this book like four years ago, and it's even better the second time. Rod Allbright is the most honest person you'll ever meet. He can't tell a lie if his life depended on it. This causes him some trouble, as you might imagine, but not as much as the aliens on the good ship FERKEL who come crash-landing through his window. These are Captain Grakker, Madame Pong, Tar Gibbons (a gibbon is actually a real-life tropical Asian ape with a slender body and long arms), Snout, and Phil. Soon Ron is drafted to the position of Deputy to help them arrest the interstellar criminal BKR. The book starts off pretty quick--not even twenty pages pass before the aliens land. However, the action is not immediate. This gives us a good chance to meet the characters, instead of just watching them run from explosions and stuff. And they are all pretty well-developed, with the possible exception of Phil, since he only has twenty or thirty lines altogether. Bruce Coville's is some of the best writing I've ever seen. There's so many little details and subtle messages that really help the book move and add depth to the characters. At the same time, he remembers that a kid is thinking this, and fills it with realistic boyish wonder and actions. Well, except not being able to ever tell a lie. But hey, that's what makes Rod Rod. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has even a slight interest in bizarre. It's the fine writing from Bruce Coville seen here that makes me wonder why that haven't adapted any of his works into a movie.

Summary: Alien Review
Review: I give this book a 5 star rating. This book is about aliens landing on earth but they lose their module that enlarges them so they are stuck being small. Then a kid named Rod found them and took them home totry help them. Then the aliens helped him with his bully problem, but someone named BKR tries to hurt Rod so Rod got beamed up. Rod was threatened by him and took two of his family members as hostage so BKR could get Grakker, the alien and his crew Madame Pong, Tar Gibbons, Snout, Phil, and Rod. If you enjoy aliens shrinking, action,weird things happening, then this is the book for you but I wouldn't read this book to a 7 year old or younger because it's a little too complicated. I liked this book because it was very action packed .Bruce Coville's other books are "I Left My Shoes In Dimenson X","The Search for Snout" and more , lots more.

Summary: Bruce has done it again!
Review: I like this book a lot because it is a good story on aliens. I think Bruce has done one of his best works here ( Besides Into the Land of the Unicorns and Song of the Wanderer ). I would recommend this book to anybody.

Summary: My Favorite Book Ever!
Review: I love this book, it's so imaginative and funny. It's Bruce Coville's best book yet! Every time I read this I can't stop laughing... This book is very amusing, but it also has a weird deep side to it that makes you want to read it again and again.
Rating: 
Summary: It is an all-around good book .
Review: I think that the way Rod's space friends help him makes this book more enjoyable and fun to read. When he meets BKR, it's time for the thrill of the chase!
