Orphans, Assassins and the Existential Eggplant, by J.T. Gillett Review "...Orphans, Assassins and the Existential Eggplant is a frolicking adventure that lightly addresses topics such as the meaning of love, friendship, morality, and Paradise. It presents a world both fantastical and real for the reader and would be a great read for anyone who enjoys humor, fantasy, and a touch of existential philosophy." -- 5 STARS The Portland Book Review"This story is magnificently entertaining. There are very fewbooks written that have the imagination and creativity worthy of expensiveon-screen production. This book is one of them. I would pay to watch thesecharacters come to life in theaters - but not just any production. This book isonly fitting for a large-scale production comparable to The Lord of the Rings,The Hobbit or The Narnia Chronicles." --CJ Leger Book Reviews

Good Stories Rise and Fall By Paul Rerucha "Good stories rise and fall like empires in the endless pursuit of happiness, like armies of lovers marching to paradise - good stories change the world." So begins Part One of Orphans, Assassins and the Existential Eggplant. This book is such a good read. I read it on the plane to Hawaii, and it soared with me through the sky. My wife kept asking what was so funny as I giggled and laughed in my seat. This story changed me, in that flying is such a drag these days, and this book kept coming up with surprises, weaving together stories of gods, goddesses, orphans and assassins, the pursuit of the unattainable, and existential conundrums.I have had the opportunity to read some of Mr Gillett's poetry (especially "This is My Last Poem" - I hope this is not his last novel), and in this novel, he brings his poetic ability to sublimely transport the reader to new views of the mundane, new opportunities for transformation, and new ways of understanding my own self. What more could I ask for in a book.Steal this book if you need to, but get it and read it with joy.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Be prepared for an eggplant that steals the show. By Robert A McLellan Right from the first page, the author was able to grab my attention with careful description and believable characters. For me, the sign of a good writer is one who takes the time to describe the environment around the main characters with vivid detail. That's what I found throughout the book, right up to the last page. I not only enjoyed the characters and their individual journeys, but also learning about all of these events that happened throughout history that I was unaware of. I don't want to give the plot away, but the eggplant was my favorite character by far. I loved his carefreeness as well as his wisdom and frankness. I want such an eggplant hanging around my neck.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Orphans, Assassins and the Existential Eggplant from Chas By Ryan A dynamite first novel by an author who knows how to tell an exciting story, while drawing associations from the vast repository of the historical record. He uses fact, fable, hearsay and myth imaginatively to create a multi-layered tapestry that expands the action. A simple story, at first, but then the plot is moved by the mysterious, serendipitous Plans of the heavens, Fate, Destiny, the Great Questions; and then you fell it's part of some vast web of continuity, and the western esoteric story known as the Great Tradition. The action is cinematic, moves swiftly, and I was lifted along at flying carpet speed, or on a horse galloping on air. Full of pyrotechnics, and incendiary inventions, and challenging historical suppositions, this book can really blow your mind ! A cast of characters who continue to draw upon the best qualities of the human spirit; their warmth, faith and determination continue to bring out the light in human character, redeeming every dark situation, challenging the strengths of evil minded Powers. A first in the history of literature, I'll let the fabulous eggplant speak for itself. An eggplant will never appear the same again.This novel has a way of provoking thought. Our collective myths are stretched like an expanding sky. It connects the dots called historical events in new, interesting, compelling, humorous, and unexpected ways. In that sense, it is positively diabolical, radical & refreshing.David Alan Chasmar
