Re: Official Review: The World of Ato by Patrick Borosky

Cristinaro pointed out what's so special about The World of Ato by Patrick Borosky, in her review. Unlike many fantasy novels wherein the hero acquires supernatural or paranormal powers, Ato, the girl who lives alone because her parents are missing, draws the inspiration to live on and survive through the power of her creative genius, the talent to draw and paint landscapes from her imagined worlds. So beautiful and alive are her works, they eventually serve as Ato's portal to the world of Myr, where she meets a dragon named Iro. Having read cristinaro's review, I look forward to eventually reading Ato's adventures in Myr and her personal and social growth as she becomes aware of complex human struggles in society, such as the haves and the have-nots, the happy and unhappy and the causes of isolation, discrimination and suffering. That Ato's adventures are written in an enthralling and engaging way, as attested to by the reviewer, is a solid accomplishment by Mr. Borosky. Just by reading the plot synopsis and the review, I wish this can be turned into a movie. A lovely sight that would be in cinemas.

Sounds like a good read. I like that this book is for young readers but can also be enjoyed by adults. I always love when books have deeper meanings. Going back and reading a book I read when I was a teenager, seeing that it had deeper meaning, always makes me happy that the author wrote this way.

I love that this book could be enjoyed by young adults and adults alike. Borosky's style of story telling allows him to hint at deep subjects without taking away from the story. Thank you for volunteering to proofread his work. I would also love to have a hard copy of The World of Ato. I feel like it is a book that you could read several times over and get more and more out of it each time.
