What do you guys think of Strieber, his books, his claims?
If I read Communion as a pure piece of fiction I would have classified it as decently entertaining. But because of the author's claims, outside of the book, I was thoroughly intrigued.
I'm not saying I believe him, I just think it's very interesting how he parlayed an average piece of work into something else by claiming it was true. The fun of reading it is almost like being on a jury of some bizarre intergalactic crime.
Just a funny side note, the other night as I was falling asleep I started to smell fresh cookies. Confused I asked my fiance if she smelled cookies as well. She didn't and I just chuckled. Explaining the joke naturally isn't going to make this event funnier but for those who haven't read the book, Strieber smells cinnamon before most alien encounters. It must be the Taco Bell Cinnastix those rascly aliens love...
