Men who stare at goats

This has been on my “someday I will get around to it” to-read list for almost 20 years, and I'm really not sure why. It was strange and disturbing, and I am now even more worried about the world we live in than I was before I read it. Also, the audiobook was read by the author himself and he just seemed gleeful about all this weird shit. I think I'll go back to books about plagues and mosquitoes killing mankind instead.

Meh. Incoherent, rambling and without any meaningful narrative drive. The short unconnected stories in Them are at least internally logical. Ronson is always witty and his prose easy to read, but just couldn't get into this.

It's not as good as Them, but there are parts of this book that are just as funny and just as chilling. It just doesn't hold the same quality throughout.
