His other hobbies include chilling with his cats, playing online games and exploring the natural heritage of Earth before it is all gone.

My goal as a writer is to entertain, but to remain true to the main story arc. As a new author, it is a learning process but I'm glad to see some of my effort has carried over. (less)

A lot of wisdom, but no soul

I found this collection of stories very functional, but not very soulful. What I mean by this, is that the stories have good moral outcomes, but they lack in personality. Almost as if an AI wrote the stories.

funny

Great for kids, wonderful for a smile, but most of all the presentation is very special. Small diagrams and drawings give it a flavor perfect for the age group. Thanks for a couple chuckles.

Quotes by Peter John  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Scars are symbols of strife, written in blood and pain. They can be found anywhere on a person. Sometimes jagged, bulbous and heart-wrenching upon the eye. Other times they slide right by, disguised by healing, hair, tattoos or clothing. Sometimes they are even beautiful, but all are catalysts of change.”
Peter John, Genesis

“Hello? Anybody alive here?” “That’s how you enter a crypt, not a shop,” a voice said inside.”
Dmitry Bilik, The Time Master

“Words are our most powerful weapons; they can either build us up or completely shatter us.”
Michelle Smith, Game On

“Mocking a woman is like drinking too much wine. It may be fun for a short time, but the hangover is hell.”
Brandon Sanderson, Warbreaker
