Petey's Book Reviews

 

Fiction

 

Petey reads lots of books and, after he's read them, writes reviews for the best of them. Because Petey lives in a make-believe world, it's not surprising that most of the books he reads are fiction, which is also make-believe. How novel is that idea?

Non-fiction

 

A believer that reality is stranger than fiction, Petey turns to the surreal reality of non-fiction when the pain of too much sanity becomes greater than he can bear. As you can see, Petey's tastes in non-fiction are just as eclectic as his tastes in fiction.

Future Shock, et al., a trilogy by Alvin Toffler

Parallel Worlds, by Michio Kaku
