Communion Review

This isn't your typical "little green men flew down in funny ships and took me away" alien story so if you read this expecting that you might be either disappointed or surprised. Yes there is talk of "visitors" but this isn't some sci fi novel. What this is, is a man trying to understand the disruption to his life and the people around him. I got the impression as I read the book that it was his way of coming to terms with and understanding his experience. In saying that don't expect a definite conclusion as to what is going on.
It was an interesting read though especially seeing as a fair bit of it was told via hypnosis transcripts but I think if it wasn't for those transcripts I wouldn't have found it as interesting. It also isn't a novel that stays with you while you're reading it, I was really only ever compelled to read it and not put it down when I finally decided to pick it up, but when I took a break and closed the covers it felt like I wasn't even reading it.

7/10
