A quirky and fun short story documenting the observations of aliens among us. Really hope this is a teaser or prequel to something bigger as it has a lot of potential.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC.

An amusing fish-out-of-water (very) short story about an alien who travels to earth to study humans. It's far too short - I didn't realize it was a short story when I requested it on NetGalley, though I did enjoy it. There were moments of humour and a few scenes that attempted poignancy. The author writes with clear and concise prose, though we don't learn enough about why the aliens look exactly like humans. Worth the ten minutes it took me to read but I wish it were longer.

This is a good short story, I could definitely see it turning into something longer. It would be very interested seeing the alien's view on other things on earth.

Fun and easy short story that follows an alien taking a tour on Earth. Would love to see this turned into a full story, it has lots of potential.

Quick short story about an alien taking a tour of earth. Funny how they observe things and write down notes. I would love for this to become a full novel.

Like the story this review will be short, it’s amusing but silly which is not a bad thing, i would be disappointed if I had paid £2-3 for this on amazon but I can see it being part of a short (that word again) stories book

Alien 597 has a taste for adventure and enlightenment, so she jumped at the opportunity to travel to Earth, where the dominant species looks exactly like her own. In Confessions of a Traveler: The Observations of Alien 597, Clara Molina conveys Alien 597's wanderings in our world.

First of all, from a practical standpoint, this story is barely long enough to be considered a short story. It's longer than flash fiction, but shorter than most stories in, for example, a sci-fi anthology. Not that short stories can't have value, but if you're spending $2.99 on a story from Amazon.com, you probably want to be aware that you're paying for a story that will take you about ten minutes to read.

Confessions of a Traveler is brief, but cute, insubstantial but amusing. It doesn't take her long to figure out that "Everything was silly here, . . . and the people were silly too." It's a silly little story. I can think of worse ways to spend 10-15 minutes of my life, but I must say I'm glad I got my copy for free.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!
