5.0 out of 5 stars Story People is a precious gift to a cynical world., March 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Story People (Paperback)

When you buy Story People, buy a second copy. Before you finish reading it, you will want to send a copy to someone you love. I stumbled across it in a bookstore last Fathers' Day. I read it that afternoon and returned to the bookstore the following day for 3 more copies, one for each of our grown children.

"Story People" began life as sculptures and prints--and those are available, too--but dozens of them are brought together for you in this delightful little book. It will remind you of loved ones, introduce you to strangers and tickle you with the fictitious. Every page will trigger your own memories...tears...laughter.

You can find your way to the Story People website and chat with other readers fascinated by Brian Andreas' work...share your own poems, thoughts, reactions.

If you need a breath of fresh air in a troubled world, pick up two copies of Story People. You can thank me later.

Brian Andreas is one of the most uniquely talented people out there, and this book is a great starting point for appreciating his work. Within 5 minutes of picking up this book, you want to call everyone you know and tell them to run to the nearest bookstore for a copy of their own. You can read this book every day and still discover something new every time. No matter what mood you're in, there's a story to match it. Buy this book...and then buy all the rest of Brian's books, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Story People, February 17, 2000

This review is from: Story People (Paperback)

A person is confined to his/her individual perception of the world. It's like we all have a welder's mask with only a pinhole through which to view reality. Whenever we can widen our perspective it is, indeed, liberating - it feels good. We can only do this by borrowing another person's peep hole. Brian Andreas' is a kaleidoscope. He generously shares his with us in his short little stories and primative, detailed drawings. "Story People" liberates, invigorates and widens worlds. Smile, laugh, and wonder. Have a peep.
