The Man Who Fell to Earth was original, creative, and moving. Walter Tevis is a creative force on a parallel with Philip K. Dick.

One of the best sci-fi books I've ever read

The ending was surprisingly fitting and it makes this book more human in a story about aliens.

I was a teen when the movie came out, and I liked it, though it was slow. But of course the book has a lot more depth.

Better than the movie

It was a fantastic story, no major tail spinning stuff happens, however, the personal tale is quite fantastic! Definite read for people who enjoy a fish out of water story, or relate to feeling alien from the majority of the population!

Adored it

Marvelous story. Visionary for its time. A sympathetic portrayal of a superior species. Read it!

Essential prelude to Showtime series.

I liked reading about how a person from outer space adapted to human life and learning his perspective of humans.

The ingenuity of the Anthian

Great story. Thought provoking, and interesting characters, with an easy flow
To capture you attention. Not to technical but visionary.

Gr8!

It's not a bad story, it starts off better than it ends. It's somewhat dated. Guidall is always a great reader.

better than 3, not as good as 4 stars

A brilliant and kind of heartbreaking story—different from the movie and the series. And George Guidell fans will enjoy it!

Classic scifi

I loved everything about this book. Every time I put it on it completely took me off from reality. It’s kind of meditation. The story, depth behind the story line. I love how Walter Tavis writes. Observations and poetic sentences . George Guidall is an amazing reader.

Love this book and performance was amazing.
