Review by Sheila Jay for Dancing with an Alien
Rating:
I agree with another reviewist, that putting women on a pedastel is not respecting them.
But, overall the plot was exotic, I haven’t ever read a book like this.
It was short, a little crammed. I wish there’d been a little bit more about where Branko came from.
Ok book.

As a sci-fi fan with a romantic streak, I found this book enjoyable on both levels. Do not be fooled by the small size, however. This book is not for children. There is no graphic sex, but there are several technical references and a very short non-graphic scene.I give this book four stars instead of three because of the final message. Putting women on a pedestal is not the same as respecting them as people. If a culture strongly admires women because of their ability to reproduce, they are not truly honouring women. Only wombs.

(…)it wasn’t very good…Brank wasn’t a believable alien since he knew Earthan culure too well, and Tonia was a total sell-out of a girl. I mean, you don’t do that with a guy just because he speaks another language, HELLO! and that scene was like, what half a sentence long? This was a weird book. It would have been better withOUT the 1/2 sentence sex scene, and if the characters were more well-developed and WAY less static.
Review by Ed Iverson for Dancing with an Alien
Rating:
Boy meets girl. Girl experiences ‘first love’. Boy realizes that he loves Girl too much to accomplish his ‘mission’ and returns in disgrace to his home planet. Despite the authors occasional attempts to create authenticity, the alien ‘boy’ knows way too much about Minneapolis to be credible. The tale would have been innocuous and merely vapid but for the ending, where the author deems it necessary for the girl to give herself to the alien. The message seems to be that its OK for teenagers to ‘slow dance’ if the circumstances warrant. Just what we need…YA authors encouraging kids to be sexually active…’but only if you’re sure that its “right” for you’!
