review 1: Throughout the book, I had trouble trying to decide what exactly was the author's view of these mysterious Men in Black. I'm sure that Nick Redfern was contracted to write this book, and probably didn't have a particular view one way or the other, though it seems to me that when one approaches a subject like this it might be best to not keep ones thoughts on a subject (which one is devoting some time to) to be quite so ambiguous.Also, on the onset it seems that the first two people to ever have witnessed these crazy characters, are almost immediately pegged as either slightly deluded or prone to storytelling. One then should find this reason alone to think that any later appearances of these men in black would also be nothing more than spurious accounts. For how could t... morehey, one would think, exist at all if the origins themselves were veiled in make believe.However, the book does seem to redeem itself in the end with its analysis of possible solutions to the mystery -- Not all of them non-metaphysical.
review 2: Every now and then, I like a good UFO/conspiracy book. Generally, it's amazing that they can write so much and say so little.This book actually says something, or tries to. Recounting lots of anecdotal evidence, sprinkled with a few photos and some official documentation, Redfern does a pretty good job of explaining the origins of the "Men in Black" phenomena and giving several possibilities for what has actually gone on.Now, if you're like me, you never knew there really are (supposedly) "Men in Black" in the world. I had not heard the term outside of the movie with Will Smith & Tommy Lee Jones. Apparently, there are people in the world who believe there really are "MIB", but there is a lot of debate among the believers as to what they are: aliens themselves? travelers from the future? demons?Redfern does a good job of asking the questions and--unique for this kind of book--actually provides some answers. And not ALL of the people he interviews come across as kooks.The writing is good and might deserve more stars, but I can't take the subject matter seriously enough to give the book a higher rating. Still, it was a lot of fun. less
