Customer Reviews

Imaginative!

I began reading this book thinking that it was geared more towards 4th, 5th and 6th graders. I soon found myself totally engrossed in it (and I am well beyond that age group!). I fell in love with the Dropas and wished I had a few to call my own. This book showed what can be accomplished when everyone comes together for a common cause. Uplifting for readers of any age.

Innovative, Inspiring, Incredible

What I first assumed to be a fantasy novel geared toward adolescent readers turned out to be a sincere and touching story with a message that appeals to any age. As a person who is committed to operating from a thought system based on love and not fear (the guiding principle taught in A Course In Miracles), the story line of The Dropas took me on an inspiring journey that spoke directly to that principle that I hold so dear. Underneath the adventure of Scott, Timm, the quirky Dropas and the rest of the crew lies a deeply meaningful message about the spiritual healing of the world. It is proof positive that seemingly small individual acts of love and kindness have a far reaching power. And that when like-minded folks band together in the name of love, critical mass is achieved and voila! - Good will always triumph over evil! That underlying message prevalent in The Dropas is so uplifting to me! And for that, I will read it over and over again, until the pages are tattered and the print is worn away. Book II, Transcendental Journey, takes the theme even further. It is obvious from the evolution of Etters' writing style and character development from Book One to Book Two that the author, along with his readers, is on his own, very personal journey. These books have enlightened me, compelling me to look at this world and my impact on it in a new, more compassionate and generous way. I highly recommend the first two books in this series, and eagerly await the conclusion to the trilogy.

Non-Stop Adventure

I have tried again and again to enjoy reading in my free time and have finaly found a story that has captured my attention where I have actually finish reading a book....for anyone who has difficulty in finishing a book, like me, please start this book for it is the first one I have finished in over 10 years..... Thank you for an enjoyable story Mr. Etters....

Unique! - Art becomes an Army

A fun fantasy adventure to a possible future. The book has very creative characters, especially the assistant, Pockets. I couldn't get enough of the Dropas and their carefree approach to life. I hope to read more about them in a Book II. The art work on the cover alone is reason enough to get the book. I keep it face forward on my bookshelf to enjoy it. The artwork is so good that I'd like to see some illustrations or art within the book too. An easy going read and thoughtful rendition of the ageless story of good vs. evil.

Great Fantasy

This book is an excellent fantasy story great for anyone from 4th grade to Adults. I read the book and completely enjoyed the story line. My daughter read this book and came away with soooo much more story and wonderful interesting facts about the playful Dropas and their escapades. It really ignited her imagination.
