Earth - Kepler's Staff Review

I dare you to open to any page of this book, read it, and not chuckle. As the title hints, this book is a guide for extraterrestrial visitors. Jon Stewart leaves no topic un-mocked. The book kicks off with a quick geography lesson. The highlight of this section is the continent-by-continent breakdown of the planet, which includes Places to See, like the Grand Canyon, The Dead Sea, or Rio de Janeiro (“Because how better to enjoy Carnival than under the watchful eye of a 130-foot Jesus”), as well as Places to Avoid, including Chernobyl and the -stan family of countries.

Part guidebook and part textbook, each chapter concludes with a series of poignant FAQs. Never missing a chance to satirize even the most seemingly insignificant detail of life on Earth, the Future Alien Questions will have you laughing at our most common idiosyncrasies. This book is endlessly entertaining. -- Laura G.
