That alien beings are here--now--walking among us in human form. These men are members of an agency dedicated to tracking and policing the movements of these aliens--a top secret organization known only as...Men in Black. James Edwards is a tenacious, streetwise NYPD cop who's recruited by Agent Kay of the Men in Black. He will step into a world where his identity will be erased, where nothing is what it seems on the surface. His first case will threaten to make Earth the battleground for two warring races...and end humanity's rule in a fiery apocalypse. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Super ReaderThis book is a serviceable adaptation of the movie, and does keep some of the humour coming across as ok. It is one of those shorter styles of book taken fairly directly from the script/screenplay. So, if you like one, will probably like the other, as K recruits a smartarse athletic local cop to help save the planet, and stomp bad guy aliens all over the place. Rating: - AverageThe idea is good. But the writing is bad. If Perry is indeed a writer of children's books he should work a little on his style and choice of words. I do not speak of the dialogs, but I think the colloquialisms and wrong grammar of the descriptive parts are no good, not even in a low quality paperback written to entertain and nothing else.

Written by Steve Perry, the book Men in Black is a science fiction adventure based on the screen story and screenplay by Ed Solomon. The author, Steve Perry, is known for writing children's fiction, fantasy fiction, and science fiction stories about aliens and their ...

The writing isn't good though. In the movie, there are a few lines that were awkward. I noticed that all of those lines were in this book. Most of the other lines were altered, and were significantly better in the movie. Much of the dialog here is just, well, banal is all I can think of. But, that doesn't stop the story from being hilarious. Especially since you can picture the ... Read More Rating: - This MiB is sharp, acerbic and not for kids.Well, despite the age rating Amazon gave it, (9-12) this is NOT for kids. A group of drug cultists get their hands on the worst drug in the world. A DEA agent infiltrates the suppliers only to have his sting foiled by a mysterious man in black. After an unhappy series of events, he surrenders his identity to become one of the Men in Black.
