    William O'Brien

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Nov. 19, 2015)
    Peter: A Darkened Fairytale "The theme is reminiscent of 'Alice in Wonderland', which stimulates all the sensory qualities of the readers. The language is rich and exquisite and that adds to the colorful appeal and visual aspect of this captivating story. The narration is crisp and clever."—Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite Peter, Enchantment and Stardust "The poems vary in their emotions but the mystery and the magic, the delicious imagery and sleek flow makes it an awesome collection. This stunning collection will find its way into the hearts of all fairy tale lovers. One of the best poetry collections I have read in recent times."—Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite Peter: The World "Each part is unique in its entirety and each is as mesmerizing. The poetry is sublime and put together in such a way that the reader is drawn into this world immediately."—Lisa Jones for Readers' Favorite Surreal Peter "William O'Brien has produced a masterpiece in the book Surreal Peter. I found it to be zany and a fresh way of interpreting such divine poetry. It shows a whole new side to the author and his amazing talents."—Lisa Jones for Readers' Favorite Peter: Crank's Time "As a reader, this book gave me goosebumps as I read through its beautiful verses. This book is a marvelous example of some of his best work."—Lisa Jones for Readers' Favorite ------------------------------------------------ Dennis Waller - TOP 500 REVIEWER ------------------------------------------------ Amazon Verified Purchase 5***** A Richly Descriptive Story 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. If words were paint, then I would say William O'Brien uses them like Marc Chagall uses paint in conjuring feelings of awe. Peter's experiences throughout his journey are contagious as we the reader are spellbound by the marvels that are revealed page after page. Very classical in technique and flow, simply great writing. Another characteristic to the story is the sublime nature hinting at an allegory leaving you in contemplation of the deeper meaning to the story, much like C.S. Lewis. Shrouded within this fairytale of wonderment are traces of timeless wisdom that caught my eye. While this may be a YA novel, it is written in such a way that would appeal to anyone, regardless of age. This is one of those books that you can read over and over and find something new every time. In closing, I offer this last bit of wisdom from the story, "Listen with an open heart," he heard the flower speak." It just doesn't get any better than this... *A full 5000 word review & poem analysis posted for Peter, Enchantment and Stardust: Review by POET - Titled :Epithet: William O'Brien a magical poet,September 20, 2013
