Multiple levels of understanding is a quality this book shares with classics like "Alice in Wonderland" and "Wizard of Oz. This is a well-written, extremely imaginative novel." 5***** Oleg Medvedkov AMAZON TOP 500 REVIEWER
For all those imaginative souls
A fascinating tale takes the reader on a true flight of fantasy into amazing far-off lands, dramatically expanding the imagination and touching the heart. An exploration of the senses is tantalised through the many unusual characters, while exploring alternate realities. A placid opening of the mystical realms should not be underestimated as they soon lead off and reach into some of the darkest corners of the mind.
"Richly descriptive - The writing style is masterful in creating strong mental imagery. The depth and layering of the storyline is reminiscent of the works of C. S. Lewis. Another characteristic to the story is the sublime nature hinting at an allegory leaving you in contemplation of the deeper meaning to the story. It is written in such a way that would appeal to anyone, regardless of age. If words were paint, then I would say William O'Brien uses them like Marc Chagall uses paint in conjuring feelings of awe. Very classical in technique and flow, simply great writing." 5***** Dennis Waller AMAZON TOP 500 REVIEWER
