I loved this movie, and the book is very enjoyable to read. However, while reading it, once, some segments detached themselves from the binding. That is inexcusable.

Bigot life lesson.

That is sort of what Alien Nation can boil down to, and the nove is rather devoted to the human character of the human-newcomer cop pairing, and what he is thinking while he is going through the book.

Overall though, just a garden variety movie novel and pretty ordinary.
