Piotr Brynczka is the first author in the history of Canadian literature to have a book published where the reader is the hero of the story. Piotr was inspired by the Choose Your Own Adventure collection published in the late 70's - early 80's by Bantam Books in New York. He got hooked to those books at a very young age when his mother introduced him to them.

"It is a landmark in Canadian literature, and as an aspiring Canadian novelist, it always gives me great pleasure to see these types of novels on the rise. The story was ingenious and engaging, and full of twists and turns, and, as such, I believe that you deserve considerable applause. I await your future installments with great expectations, I'm sure taht there are many great stories to be told from your imagination."- Curtis Runstedler, Reader

"Petrified World would appeal to the reader who enjoys a tale of magic and adventure and is in a format is similar to some role-playing video games. The story is of necessity fairly fast moving with some sections very brief at a half page." - Ronald Hore, CM Magazine
