Customer Reviews

A stunning journey through the heart of the mind...

Riggs is the little boy in all of us... afraid of nothing, willing to do almost anything at the drop of a tall stovepipe hat. Knowing Josh for nearly 2 decades, I wasn't stunned to see this story come from him. I was jubilant. His moment to shine has arrived, and his true place in the world is realized. Anyone can learn how to monkey with a computer, but it takes true genius like his to put pen to paper and end up with a masterpiece. Periphery Stowe is a challenge to all authors: Don't pander to your audience, but instead teach them. Don't give them what they expect. Instead, give them what they need. In the end, the world is just as large as the imagination of a little boy.

This is a book you will want to keep on your bookshelf forever.

I recommend this to everyone of all ages and reading levels. I fell in love with this book after the first page. I was amazed with Wagner's writing style. His poetic descriptions make the characters and the world he writes them into come alive. After reading this book I immediately went back to the beginning and started reading it all over again. This is one of those special books I will read and recommend to everyone again and again.

holy wow

This entire book is set in lands we will never see, with contraptions we will never use, yet I can visualize them. I can believe in them. It is almost as if Wagner has tapped into another dimension and is just telling it as he sees it. This is a must read.

Don't miss out on this book

You want a book where words flow around your head and bring visual pictures, you want a book with a twist of philosophy, fantasy and things you haven't thought of before- this is the book. Stretch your mind with this book. It will get you thinking and thinking of things you that may not have even entered your mind== although they were things tucked in your soul. You won't find a book out there that is like this one. It is thoughtful, crazy, wild, and you can bring it home to your heart and dwell on the reality of what is behind it.You can read it many times and find more jewels.I loved the cover.

Great Book, with Great Artwork!

I bought this book as soon as it came out. I also bought a copy for my wife, so that we could each read it without fighting over one copy. The Artwork in it is amazing. It has the greatest cover I have ever seen. Breath taking. The book is one of the most crazy and interesting ones I have ever read. And as an added bonus, it even mentions Ken Finn in the acknowledgements. That is amazing in itself. This is a must have for people of all ages.
