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

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

the solicitud

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

Better than the movie

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.

Adored it

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!

Essential prelude to Showtime series.

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

The ingenuity of the Anthian

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

Gr8!

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

better than 3, not as good as 4 stars

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

Classic scifi

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

Love this book and performance was amazing.

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.
