Official Review: The Alienation of Courtney Hoffman, by Brady Stefani, seems to be the reactions of an ordinary reader.In this way, it excells. It is illustrative as well.

The title of this book drew my attention already and your review has made me even more excited to get my hands on it! I'm mentally ill myself and it's a real struggle in my life and in my fiction life to find good books that not only have content I'm into and properly written mental illness. I absolutely cannot wait to read this!

Science-fiction is a very interesting read because of its uniqueness. I wonder how would Courtney would overcome her situation. Congrats on a well-written review!

What is the meaning and purpose of the tattoo? Why did her grandpa commit a suicide? Its intriguing that only she can see the aliens and "astra" her friend. But i find the story a bit funny, don't know if I'm overthinking the story but in the last part when they where playing ball courtney seemed to have seen a dim light, but i think she was hit by the ball but in his mind she saw something alienated. All in all its a good story so my rate is 3 out of 4 stars.

The story is very interesting. Im a picky reader and I don't continue books that didn't get my attention but, this fiction makes me wonder about a lot of things in the story like " Is Courtney true or it is just her illusion or should I say craziness?" Those things makes me curious and want to pursue reading a book.

All in all, I rate The Alienation of Courtney Hoffman 4 out of 4 stars. Mr. Stefani really did a great job catching the readers interest especially when this book is about something like an illusion or imagination. The words used are just the right one and can understand really well. It is a big aspect in a book, choosing the right words, because that words turns like a screen in readers mind as if we are watching what the words describes in our mind.

This captures a lot about childhood struggles through an imaginative story filled with surprises......
But what makes Courtney unique is her strained internal struggle: is she really seeing aliens, or is the whole thing detailed construct of her mind? Courtney's torment was so realistic that it took me awhile to figure out what was really going on.
I enjoyed the fact that I could focus on the adventure.. It was awesome
