I really enjoyed this. It was both heart-warming and heart breaking at times.

I have to say I liked every character in this, apart from the bad guys of course.

Nichol was a hard working guy who gave up Edinburgh to help his Granda when his mum and brother died and you had to feel sorry for him because he never got thanked for his efforts or got the chance to mourn their loss. Cameron started off as a scared guy on the run but blossomed into a very helpful, very hard working guy who came to love both Nichol and Harry, though for different reasons. Harry was your typical brusque old man who never showed his feelings and in the end, I'm sure he regretted that. Archie, was your well to do cop who only ended up causing more problems and Shona was your tough farm girl who was taking the reigns after losing her abusive husband.

Together they were a very lively bunch and they brought a smile to my face one way or another.

Hilarious and heart warming
I'd read one of Matt Haig's other books and The Humans had been recommended as a must read, and I can really see why.

This is a hilarious story of life on earth viewed by an alien visitor. It wasn't quite the tale I expected and in fact turned out miles better than I'd hoped. Its very fast paced and 'Andrew' is such an endearing and loveable main character. His view on human life and emotions is very funny and also very heartwarming. Although the ending isn't entirely unpredictable, the rest of the book more than makes up for it. Andrew's "Advice for a human' list towards the end of the book is so thoughtful and insightful, and also pretty damn funny too. Such an enjoyable book to read.
