Grade 8 & up Bennett thinks he has struck the jackpot when his long-time crush, Sophie, agrees to go to prom with him. A few moments after she accepts, Sophie is abducted by horned, red-furred aliens traveling in a wagon-like UFO. Bennett naturally wants his prom date back, and so he enlists the help of an extraterrestrial band visiting a local In-N-Out to follow Sophie around outer space. As Bennett focuses on ensuring Sophie is not hunted down by fellow marooned humans in a Hungers Games-like park, he learns the truths behind the band members and their drive to become successful again. If it sounds implausible, it unabashedly is, but McCoy creates a fun, amusing, and heart-warming story out of the impossibilities. Witty and action-packed, the plot is boldly glazes over science-fiction details in favor of well-wrought characters. You’ll root for Bennett to get the girl and even for crusty band member Skark to accomplish his dream of becoming better than the one billionth and sixteenth band in the universe. The book’s ending, however, is a nicely-placed realistic surprise. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Picking up this book I got Hitchhiker Guide vibes off of it right down to the humor and wacky characters. The love interest starts out simple and the ending kept it real. If you want to complain about everyone one ending up together at the end there nothing to complain here.
The one thing I didn't like was when they rescue Sophie, I expect that the alins that abducted her would go after them. Although added that on top of a band trying to make a comeback, angry ex-band member, and a character starting a clean slate is bit too much. It nice to how a side plot about a down on their luck band that the sixteenth million best band in the universe to rise up once more.
I think it correspond to the main character and it been done before therefore it best to leave it open.
Plot 5/5 Stay right to the main plot while balance a side plot (nicely done in under 300 pages)
Writing 5/5 humorist at times. Remains me of Hitchhiker Guide in its own style.
Characters 5/5
1 for being in outer space (love books that take place in outer space)
1 music because alins in outer space rock out as well
Total 17/20= 5 *stars* ( )
