Review
"Youngsters can have a good time using the magical skills they acquire to battle the forces of evil before eventually triumphing in this swashbuckling adventure." - Ottawa Citizen
"For younger readers, it is very much recommended, and will certainly keep them interested. It's very good for older readers, too." - Dead Trees Review
"It is a landmark in Canadian literature, and as an aspiring Canadian novelist, it always gives me great pleasure to see these types of novels on the rise. The story was ingenious and engaging, and full of twists and turns, and, as such, I believe that you deserve considerable applause. I await your future installments with great expectations, I'm sure taht there are many great stories to be told from your imagination."- Curtis Runstedler, Reader
"Petrified World would appeal to the reader who enjoys a tale of magic and adventure and is in a format is similar to some role-playing video games. The story is of necessity fairly fast moving with some sections very brief at a half page." - Ronald Hore, CM Magazine

Good for younger, and older, readers., Sep 29 2008
By Paul Lappen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Petrified World (Paperback)
Do you remember those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books from the 1980s? Well, they're back.
You, the reader, are in a present-day airplane, traveling over Tibet after a trip to China. Suddenly, the plane develops engine trouble and crashes in the mountains. You are thrown from the plane and knocked unconscious. A group of Tibetan monks find you and nurse you back to health in their lamasery. After a month-long coma, you wake with total amnesia. The monks let you stay and regain your memory, along with learning the mystical arts of the East, at which you become very proficient. After nine years of training and living with the monks, it is time for you to head home. One night, after you are back home, the head monk appears to you with an important mission.
The peaceful land of Zaar is being ravaged by an evil sorcerer named Darkblade. He plans to become absolute ruler of Zaar, then go on to other lands and other worlds. With help from an evil potion called Black Death, Darkblade has gained a number of magical powers, among them, the ability to hypnotize anyone just by looking at them. Your mission is to capture Darkblade alive (killing him is not an option) and bring him to a druid named Keinu, so that all knowledge of Black Death can be erased from his mind, and he can be turned back into a druid named Rekken. Then you must take him to the Tibetan lamasery, where he will spend the rest of his days. Naturally, Darkblade knows you are coming, and has put many obstacles in your path, including rock monsters and ice slides that are so long that the unlucky traveler will starve to death before reaching the end.
For younger readers, it is very much recommended, and will certainly keep them interested. It's very good for older readers, too.
