Another Chance?

This book was excellent and made me think of what it would really be like to be young again. There are so many pitfalls I never thought about if I was to ever be young again and Parke Sellard made some very interesting points painfully clear in a very touching and well written book about being given another chance at life. Make the most of what you got because the second time around can be a nightmare in sweet disguise. I look forward to more of Parke Sellard's books.

PROVACATIVE

The answer to the Fountain of Youth?

Parke Sellard has a fasinating story to tell. Although fiction in subject, it makes one wonder and think.........is there a possibility that some day the aging process could be reversed, and we could somehow become younger? What would that be like? Would we "want" to do that? Sellard gives us the story of one man who did just that...and allows the reader to take that journey with him.I was in wonder as I read this book and realized that it would have different meaning for different ages. The Boswell Gene has become the centerpiece of the book section in my fine arts gallery. I highly recommend it!Judy Mowris curator StoneTree Gallery Mountainair, NM

THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL STORY THAT YOU MUST NOT MISS.

A Good Read

The Boswell Gene is the type of book that makes it tempting to flip forward to the last page, however, I suggest that people read each page otherwise they would be missing out on this clever story line. If you like stories that involve twists and turns, this is the book for you. It's not easy to put the Boswell Gene down due to it's intriguing nature, and in my opinion, that is a huge factor that is required when recommending a book to family and friends. Read the Boswell Gene and get ready for a real adventure.
