Littluns Critique
The Littluns was an amazing and different reading experience. It was like a movie, going through each page with artistically colored pictures depicting the scene on every other page.
The book is about a group of friends, going out of there haven up in the mountains, a nice warm place where everyone is nice, as nice as can be, into a world where evil spreads like the plague. They go down to find new recipes, seeds, and inventions to use in their own little world. They are split up early into the hunt, and find get mixed up into an evil being spread into the world by the Necromancer. The Necromancer’s goal is to take over the whole country, bend everyone to His will.
As Sneetz, as the main character is called, goes through the process of finding himself, he learns what life is truly like, the hardships in it, and the friendships you can make. Littluns shows what life is like, how everyone eventually goes through it to the end, and how things can be lost, and never found.
The Littluns is an amazing Christian book, showing what life is like for everyone, and what life will be like as it shows in the last Book, in an amazing twist of fantasy.
I recommend the book to anyone; it is for any age, from a small child, to an elderly couple, to people who just want to read it for the genre, or to people who want to read it for the message in it. This book is one of the best reading experiences I have had in my entire life. Enjoy.

I loved the book "Littluns, AND THE BOOK OF DARKNESS!!!" I am looking forward to reading the sequel!! There has to be one! I found the travels of Sneetz, both exciting and frustrating! I wanted so badly for the one issue to be different although it was what it had to be! A very creative solution!
His Grossness will create a wonderful image in a child’s mind as his desc riptive sounds and utterances cause giggles galore!
A more evil creation than Equassym Enturim as the Necromancer could not be better described by the author. I had the feeling that this evil entity could not be detained without a Higher Power intervening. I was holding my breath through out the ending! Whew!
Mark Glamack has taken the best of many thoughts of enlightened souls and turned it into a tale that will weave joy and intrigue through the imaginations of young and old alike.

RE: Review of "LITTLUNS" Novel
Extraordinary, to say the least, "Littluns", by author and illustrator Mark Glamack, is a novel that is hard to put
down. In fact, you would not want to take this book to bed at night hoping that it will help you fall asleep.
Instead, it will keep you up to late in the night!
"Littluns" was such a pleasure to read that I would read it over and over again. Some readers will read the book
as pure fantasy, and enjoy the author’s imaginary world. Others will be able to relate to parts of the story, as
when making the choice of good or evil, and everyday life encounters. While some will go deeper into the reality
and spiritual aspects of this truly brilliant masterpiece.
Mr. Glamack’s properly timed placements of the illustrations will help the reader visualize the animated characters
and environment. Throughout the entire novel, every little detail of the events taking place puts the reader
inside the book. I actually found myself acting out some of these details. Mark Glamack’s unique talent will set
the stage for the reader, as if you feel that you are in the Movie Theater.
Refreshing, from a Parent’s point of view, is knowing that "Littluns" is written absent of inappropriate and
offensive language, and will not affect the onset and continued interest of the reader. The book stays in
balance with humor, terror, innocence, action, morals, truth, sadness, hope, and feelings. The reader will find
this novel impossible to predict and full of surprises.
It has been an honor and privilege to have been one of the first few chosen to read this unique novel, "Littluns" --
A book of Light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What a brilliant book! It takes you on ride through magical settings and entertains from beginning to end! I look forward to reading the next book! Pass it on to all!

Littluns
Novel Review
What could possibly happen?
Every precaution is taken that nothing will happen on an annual outing of renewal.
In the very secret Hollow Hills, civic duty calls upon five Littluns to go out into the land of Terra Fermata and find new things to bring back. Being completely isolated from the rest of Terra Fermata, the Littlun way of life is innocent, and very happy.
Out they go… where an outing becomes a journey of survival against the most wretched characters you will ever meet, and the pinnacle of consummate evil, The Necromancer. So much so, the reader will want to be sure their door is locked and there are more lights on than just the reading lamp!
However, with darkness there must be light(ness) in good storytelling.
Elderond of the light, thank goodness, is brought into the story, which gives healing, and wisdom, with sprinkles of magic that gives the reader a wonderful respite. There are other most astounding characters of light to help console the reader along the way and, whew!, do we need them!
The story is complex but fast moving and easily understood along with many plot twists that I didn’t’t see coming! Also there is nothing here that parents should find offensive.
After finishing the book, several days later I was talking to a friend and mentioned that I saw this really great movie. He asked me what the name was and I said Littluns. I paused and thought - hey wait a minute that wasn’t a movie that was a book I read!
Hootsy Bootsy!!
