As a character study this book is lacking, and the ending is improbably sunny. However, the hard SF core of the narrative is enjoyable for everyone who's ever read a science article and thought, "That's really, really cool."

what did shine through as something that I don't see often in English-language speculative fiction was an air of constrained energy beneath the fairly straightforward prose.

UFO in Her Eyes gives us an interesting portrait, lightly sketched, of rural Chinese trying their best to manage the multiple forces bearing down on them; traditionalism and modernization play out a tug of war on this small stage.

[...] although it has some of the problems associated with that forlorn not-the-fun-introduction-but-not-the-climax-either status of second books, it's good stuff.

I found it easy to put down and harder than average to pick back up. I've been a bit hard-pressed to express just why this is; it's not a bad book by any means, but it lacks something, or perhaps lacks a little in several areas.
