I remember how I used to have opinions about those little people, but then I read a book from Ax's perspective and abruptly I wanted nothing more than to continue reading books on Earth from an alien's viewpoint, and I was like 'Who are these fuckers, go back to the aliens' and the books are like 'no'.

As far as Ax goes, he's pretty ok. Probably not my favorite character (Hello Crayak), but his viewpoint is markedly entertaining to read even when things have gone to crap.
