From Library Journal
An alien spaceship lands on Earth for a double purpose: to give the people of Earth the benefit of their advanced technology and to return to them a human rescued in infancy and raised by the kangaroo-like Hakh'hli to be as "human" as possible--under the circumstances. Pohl's unerring gift for satire delivers a splendidly skewed alien-eye-view of human culture while spinning a touching, slightly quirky story of a young man's coming of age. Highly recommended.-- JC

"As is often true of Pohl's works, the clear-cut moral dilemmas and the commonsensical solutions to interracial stalemates offer all too simplistic parallels to current diplomatic crises," noted PW.
