Reception

C. Ben Ostrander reviewed The Girl with the Jade Green Eyes in The Space Gamer No. 17.[1] Ostrander commented that the novel "is a fun little book [...] I did enjoy the two hours I spent reading it."[1]

Kirkus Reviews states "Can this book really be as awful as it sounds? Yes, indeed. Boyd (author of the malodorous Barnard's Planet, 1975) writes with somewhat less poise and control than a busted cement mixer."[2]
