My Review:
I found this book very amusing. The author had a nice way with phrases that gave you a little puzzle and laugh figuring out what the aliens were talking about - like "hearing systems" or "sleeping support" for ears and bed. Lots of very graphic sex, but even that was pretty amusing to me.

As for world building, I was pretty disappointed. The "alien" words seemed a little too familiar and when I did some checking, they were all Czech words. If there was some mention in the book about why these aliens spoke Czech, I could understand it, but there was no explanation. I would have also liked a little more detail like how the aliens determine a soulmate, why they'd take a whole transport ship to Earth for one human female (instead of one ship for lots of females), why were the alien ants the enemies of the aliens and what's so great about being a "breaker".

If this was a prequel to a series, I'd understand it. But the next book in the series is also only about this same length (75 pages). I was amused enough by the book that I might get the second in the series and also read this one again, but if you're looking for a sci-fi world this isn't it.
