Sue has been studying Physique Jacker Jaz by Matthew Thompson.
Physique Jacker Jaz is written from the viewpoint of an alien who is ready to take up residence inside numerous people and see our world by means of their eyes. The world she sees is that of 1995 in Camden, London, which is a very vibrant location. She notably likes one of many hosts she finds, Jaz, a trans lady who’s a gifted singer/songwriter and decides to inhabit her for an prolonged interval.
The alien, who is named Cyan-Amber, observes humanity and studies again to her race who, within the midst of struggle, are looking for a planet to take over. These studies are extremely entertaining as Cyan-Amber feedback on human society and ponders the purpose of cats, unsuppressed human feelings and unrequited love – amongst different topics.
I loved studying about 1995 Camden, having lived not too removed from there within the Nineties and I used to be aware of most of the places referred to within the ebook.
Jaz was an endearing, caring character and her stumbling manner of studying how you can act human was amusing. There have been some laugh-out-loud moments within the ebook and its conclusion was satisfying, leaving an open finish for extra books to be written on this collection.
