An interesting book by an author that lack a bit of experience. This book has an intriguing story/plot and decent writing for this type of book, but it also has some flaws in the characters development (those characters felt empty and just generic) and it also tend to focus and repeat some element of the world/story way too much and it isn't, unfortunately, about the best element. Like that obsession with the doorbell, and the race of the Alien, I mean we can call a planet Mhz2tk (I know it wasn't exactly that but probably close enough) but if we ever get in contact with the people living there, they would probably provide us with a better name for the home world and for themselves so we won,t have to call them Mhz2tkians. Not perfect, but clearly a young author, I would say continue working, maybe put more time editing and ask more exterior advice before publishing, but don't give up, because this is better then a lot!
