If I Were You

I've never read anything like it

This one is something special. A great fantasy yarn in the classic pulp tradition, but as fresh and original now as it ever was. I couldn't put it down and loved every second of it. If you like cookie cutter characters and demand only the pure, handsome hero, stay away. But if you like a great adventure fantasy story, with a unique main character and a whole roller coaster of twists, I couldn't more strongly recommend this story. I loved it.

What's after Harry Potter

I've been wondering what fantasy titles were going to come out that would captivate me as much as Harry Potter did and I think I found it. This was a great audio book. Action, adventure, good clean fun. I really like fiction stories that not only entertain me but leave me feeling like I learned something too. This new series that is out by Hubbard is really something!

This pulp is so wacky and far-fetched that one has to admire Hub

This pulp is so wacky and far-fetched that one has to admire Hubbard's imagination. This is the story of circus dwarf, Little Tom Little. The front flap of "If I Were You" states: Tom is "king of midgets, loved by crowds and carnival folks alike." The problem is Tom wants more than the recognition of being a "cute and dear" little man. Looking at people's shins all his life and being considered a freak has taken its toll. He has big dreams in his little body... he longs to be ringmaster. His life changes when he discovers ancient books that contain the "how to" secrets of switching bodies. Without giving away the conclusion, Little Tom Little craving a larger body, embarks on a naive, but brave and perilous journey that finds him center ring in a heap of trouble. It's an unbelievable and fantastical tale, but at the same time, it offers a portrait of the extent a human being will go to achieve his dreams.

Know thyself!!!

Circus midget, Tom Little, is loved by friends and audiences but not by himself. He wants desperately to be "big". This is a compelling and revealing study of the importances of the size of one's body, one's spirit, one's strength of character, and integrity. While it takes place in the bawdy atmosphere of a circus, there are lessons to be learned, on a deep level, about the value any of us place in physical vs. character attributes. This is more than a shallow amusement. It is a revelation and lesson in who we really are and the value of real relationships. I'd recommend this to anyone who has a physical quality about themselves they do not like and to all pretty people as well.

Unlike anything I've heard before
