   May 9, 2013 · October 31, 2017. A funny, clever, and unusual book, The Humans, explores what would happen if an alien came to earth and inhabited the body of an earthling and reacted to our life styles and rules for society. A lot of things would seem absurd and this is what the author taps into.

   The book is a unique blend of humour and profundity, told from the perspective of an extraterrestrial visitor who takes on the form of a Cambridge mathematician. The alien's observations about humans, their habits, and their society are both hilarious and thought-provoking, making us question our own norms and behaviours.

   The Humans is a laugh-and-cry book. Troubling, thrilling, puzzling, believable and impossible. Matt Haig uses words like a tin-opener. We are the tin. Jeanette Winterson. A brilliant exploration of what it is to love, and to be human, The Humans is both heartwarming and hilarious, weird, and utterly wonderful.

   Is the humans a good book?

   • The Humans is a funny, compulsively readable novel about alien abduction, mathematics, and that most interesting subject of all: ourselves. Combine Douglas Adams’s irreverent take on life, the universe, and everything with a genuinely moving love story, and you have some idea of the humor, originality, and poignancy of Matt Haig’s latest novel.

   Is 'the humans' a good movie?

   • And for a while, as Matt Haig builds from this premise, it’s funny! The Humans begins quite wonderfully with the arrival of an alien who can barely disguise his contempt towards humans and believes clothing is optional. The humor works because of our extraterrestrial narrator's terrific voice, which is matter of fact and superior.

   Is 'the humans' a science fiction book?

   • The premise of using an alien character to comment on the absurdity of human culture is as old as science fiction itself. Even so, "The Humans" does not come across as derivative. The perspective is fresh, and the insights often humourous ("running naked and external genitalia do not go together").

   The Humans has its touching moments of, well, human connection that made me like Haig’s How to Stop Time so much. Our protagonist bonds with a dog. Our protagonist has a genuine conversation with Andrew Martin’s son, which is more than many fathers of teenagers will ever experience. Our protagonist comes to understand how pain and suffering ...
