[quote=Anonymous]I just finished The Humans by Matt Haig, partially based on all the recommendations on here. It was a light and pleasant read, about an alien who is sent to earth to destroy a couple humans who know too much about a mathematical breakthrough (for the safety of the universe) but of course becomes increasingly sympathetic to the humans he is meant to kill.

I was somewhat distracted in the first half, when our alien first arrives, because the book reminded me [i]so much[/i] of the show Resident Alien, which I had recently watched with DCs. Then I felt the back half was a bit rushed and - possible SPOILER - ...   ... I never quite "bought" the love the alien was supposed to have developed with the main characters because the relationships seemed to jump so quickly from 0 to 100.  That said, it was enjoyable and somewhat uplifting (well, when I was not ruminating that perhaps the alien was too optimistic about humanity, esp. given the trajectory the world has taken since publication of the book!)[/quote]
