 Readers' reviews of The Lizard of Ozzzz.com
 page:  1

Mary Saint-Marie, author of "Holy Sight" 

Mary Karlton has gifted us, via fiction, a documentary of where human consciousness in separation from Truth/Love may potentially journey. Mary has carefully unveiled the inherent dangers of the misuse of modern technology in a world, often driven by fear, which in this story has manifest as the insidious control of innocent human minds. Mary uncovers the real power of ones driven by love. It is a story that could 'awaken' many if seen on the Big Screen/movies. Thank you, Mary, for your travels into the heart of Silicon Valley. The story mirrors the choice point of ancient Atlantis and its choice to misue the chip (crystal). Mary has revealed that today we have the same choice of misusing the light or being animated by the Light of Love.

Delicious satire with a potent message about privacy, May 5, 2004
Reviewer: A reader from Santa Fe, NM
The "Lizard of Ozzzz.com" is a real page-turner! I consumed it greedily in one sitting, savoring the satirical pokes at Silicon Valley while wondering about the chilling possibilities of mass mind control perpetrated by corporate America. Now that the FBI is pushing legislation to force Internet providers to "wiretap" their customers, I fear that Ms. Karlton's vision may be all too plausible! This book will entertain you royally, but beware that you might start looking over your shoulder every time you log on!


Paul Gaylon 
A whirlwind ride through paranoid realism where corporate technology is going, going...gone! The pulse of programmed control and its counterlever forces is taut as a bow ready to snap. A fast-paced read for Silicon Valley and beyond.


Diana Real 
Lions and tigers and mind control. Oh my! This is a compelling story of our culture's moral bankruptcy. Author Mary Karlton takes us on a romp down the yellow brick road of dotcom in this insightful tour de force as she pulls back the curtain to give us a peek into the Silicon Valley of tomorrow. Even more haunting is that it could be the Silicon Valley of today. "The Lizard of Ozzzz.com" is an allegory for our times -- a must read.


Russ Rosenberg 
A funny satire of the dark side of Silicon Valley and a prophetic glimpse of the potential of internet mind control. Even though a light and humorous read, the consequences that it suggests should be disturbing to us all.

Warning, do not read this in coffee houses, people will give you strange looks when you burst out laughing, I still can't go back to my local Starbucks without being stared at. Mary has done a terrific job in weaving humor and an important message for all of us internet users. An enjoyable and thought-provoking book.


Tom Muller 
The Lizard of Ozzzz.com wins you over with its wit and then knocks the wind out of your sails by unexpectedly by raising some serious questions about our vulnerability to manipulation through the Internet. It's a must-read whether you're a fallen-away dot-commer or an everyday Internet junkie.
