Advantages: Easy to read, great story and a different look at some of americas biggest cities Disadvantages: The title confused me at first - I excepted aliens and Will Smith.
Advantages: Great detail.... brings out his best qualities.. brings out his intelligence!! Disadvantages: The only disadvantage which is sort of an advantage is that it makes you feel a slight hatred towards Jim for the things he did, but it is so exciting and exotic that you fall in love with him over and over again!
