Okay. I liked the overall approach to humanity on the part of the aliens (basically: humans are trash because they think they own all the life on their planet) but I found the day to day mechanics of the book to be dull.

The humans, especially the scientists, do aggressively stupid things and get stomped for it, sulk and repeat.

The alien is hulking and says little and broods, yet secretly has googly eyes for the protagonist.

Still, it's better than average.
