I read this to one of the classes at a school where I was a substitute teacher. After finishing the book, the shortest boy in the class stood up and declared that someday he would be taller than everyone and that everybody should stop picking on him. I returned to the school to sub for another class and saw him leading the class to the cafeteria. He saw me, smiled and proclaimed that Wilt was his hero.

This book can easily compare to such classic novels as Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations" or James Joyce's "Ulysses", it's that good. It has many parallels and metaphors that draw true to many modern day philosophies and conflicts. A brilliant work! I laughed, I cried and I slept. Thank you R.E. for giving me the opportunity to share in your vision.

After reading the brilliant, captivating novel "Wilt's on Stilts!", I recollected a time in my childhood. I was always the shortest person in my class, so one day, I tried to pretend I was tall and came to school on stilts. I thought I fooled everyone! Unfortunately, I didn't. People knew I was wearing stilts and one kid knocked me off of them. I fell and am now unable to walk. DAMN YOU! It's all coming back! (Tears and sadness)
