This book was awesome!January 4, 2008 The reason I loved this book wasn't just because I believe Aliens exist, it was because it was easy to read and he got to the point fast and didn't waste time with pointless chatter like you get in some books. He just wrote about his experiences and what happened between him and the Aliens and thats what I wanted to hear. There were some really surprising parts in the book that I didn't expect and that made it a good read. And since he was conscious and remembered everything that happened it made it hard for me to put it down. I cant wait to read his next book.

I felt that most of the book was on the painful experiences of the abductions...the last chapter or so covered the positive events of the purpose of writing the book. His lectures that are so well received would have been a welcome part of the manuscript.
Mysteries Magazine reviewOctober 28, 2007 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
After the phenomenal success of books by early pioneers of the abduction history genre, there has been a steady stream of similar accounts, most written by the abductees themselves, that ceaselessly replicate the same findings. The fact that these accounts are so similar is a large part of their probable veracity; one never ceases to be amazed at how different people from all over the world encounter the same creatures, endure the same invasive medical procedures, suffer the same trauma, and achieve the same cathartic breakthroughs.
Such is the case with Jim Sparks and his first-person abduction history, The Keepers. While Sparks admittedly recounts much of what has come to be called the "standard abduction scenario," there is also sufficient new material here to keep things interesting. For instance, he has not required hypnotic regression to retrieve his memories. He also has detailed recall of being taught an alien alphabet as a precursor to a more formal telepathic communication.
Anger is another common reaction to the abduction experience, and in Sparks' case, the rage includes shouting obscenities at the aliens, who then paralyze his mouth, after which he would scream psychically at them. But happily, Sparks comes to feel his experiences ultimately served a good purpose.
The message for humanity promised in the title is basically a reiteration of the often-heard warnings of encroaching environmental collapse, which UFO contactees have been preaching about since the 1950s. In any case, Sparks has done a great job of telling his story and, in spite of so many familiar abduction history elements, The Keepers is an engrossing page-turner. Mysteries Magazine
