Jurassic Park for sure. What would I do there? Likely, get eaten. ;)

A Fairy Tale worth its weight in gold! Fun, sad, exciting, frightening, and hopeful all wrapped up in a magical dream worth visiting. I loved every minute of this book and hope we get to return some day! |

"4. Really delightful descriptions. And a lovely story. I was reading it for book club… Just a short Christmas read, otherwise I probably would’ve picked it up. But as I read it, I thought this would be really great to be reading this over a 10 day to"

"Very imaginative Christmas story, perfect for big kids and tweens, but a little slow for me. Everything was going perfectly, and there wasn’t much conflict until the final few chapters, and that’s what made the plot interesting. "

“STARLIGHT and THUNDER
The Limits of Art is an anthological collection for the ages...for a lifetime. A veritable ark containing excerpts from the sound and fury representative of the finest literary scriveners the world has yet produced.
Unequivocally, intellectual nourishment breeds a fire in the mind...a conflagration of ideas and incendiary thoughts that furnish the spirit with conviction and courage to confront the ballet and ballistics of life with passion, wit, tenderness, reason, resolve, humor, imagination and unconditional curiosity.
Amidst the clamor brought forth by the alarums and excursions of modern day pontifications, nevertheless, conform and commit your mind to the abolition of ignorance!
Accede your sensibilities to the rapture of beauty and her ineffable grace. For beauty is enchantment, a romantic allegiance to the rhapsodic seduction celebratory of the ephemeral, the eternal and the esoteric nature and narratives of fictive splendor, which valorously emanate from this voluptuous volume.
This magisterial tome is a figurative brocade of both starlight and thunder transcribed into an insatiable verbal delirium groping toward an unbridled exposition on life’s wonders and mysteries.
Drink mightily from its gilded chalice.”
