Professor Andrew Martin is walking naked through Cambridge, and thinking that there can be nothing more unpleasant than being human. As the weeks pass, however, Andrew warms to wearing clothing, warms to humans, and warms to planet Earth. In fact, when the time comes for him to leave, he refuses. This novel is very, very funny, and wonderfully believable. Human readers will love Andrew. He has fallen in love with humans, and in turn makes us fall in love with ourselves. A genuine joy to read.
