Again, something most of us have probably wondered as we yearn for that electric car, Dyson fan, newest iPhone, or whatever object of the moment is cool. Honestly, it was probably a real challenge to come up with nuanced voices that all sound very similar and yet can remain distinct in a conversation. I was entertained throughout and delighted in the world Kozeniewski created, reluctant to leave when the story was finished. What a wonderfully bizarre story this is, with a definite Orwellian influence concerning capitalism and corporate greed. It tells the story of Will, a William clone in a world made exclusively of William clones (a real nightmare for anyone like me, who happens to have a brother named Bill).

He stops to pee by the road and he happens to see this weird building (a windmill) and as he goes to investigate he finally comes across the cloneasaurus!

If you enjoy a story that sucks you in, makes you laugh while also may make you sad (and definitely makes you cringe) but most of all makes you think, you really should give Billy and the Cloneasaurus a try. Now that I’ve traveled through Stephen Kozeniewski’s world, the brilliance of his tale shines through! Items originating from areas including Cuba, North Korea, Iran, or Crimea, with the exception of informational materials such as publications, films, posters, phonograph records, photographs, tapes, compact disks, and certain artworks. This realization happened too soon for me, and I imagine in a world of clones, there wouldn't be even a word for being an "individual", the direct tought to become different from someone couldn't even exist, maybe just in a form of a feeling, or a very faint shadow of a feeling, nothing too direct, not like this (even if it's not his toughts directly, but the story teller's "translation" of his character's toughts, it's still too frontal): "He would think outside the boundaries of what he had been told he could accomplish.

I do enjoy dark humour though, and this looks like a very different kind of read which is reason enough in itself for me to add it to my TBR.

What’s really nice about this book is that not only will it age well (there are only a few pop culture references, but more in the past) but it will hold up to multiple readings. However, once things begin to unravel it's up to Billy to survive the horrors of a dinosaur island and make it back to his pal McGarnagle! I like Billy and the other characters, and seeing how, even though they were clones, they had their differences. When I first read what this book is about, I tought: oh no, this story will be too upsetting, because I can't imagine a world, where I must live with 6 billion identical clones of myself in the same planet, I mean what happens, when someone comes to me and tells "go fuck yourself, boy"—it would surely take decades, to complete the task, not to mention, I'm a gentleman, and so am I, so I would invite myself for a romantic dinner before the sexual intercouse, imagine the restaurant bills.

In this the story, I think that Kozeniewski captured the drive for profitability at its most horrific level. Stephen Kozeniewski (pronounced "causin' ooze key") lives in Pennsylvania, the birthplace of the modern zombie. For example, everyone leaving work at the same time just to sit in traffic when leaving 20 minutes later would avoid the problem.It starts off light and fluffy, but you quickly get the impression that something deeper lies under the surface. It was only after reading that I considered how boring this book should have been since all the characters are essentially the same. Be assured, dear readers, that "Billy and the Clonesaurus" doesn't fall prey to preachiness or pretentiousness. Alas, Stephen Kozeniewski’s world is filled with men named William in his satirical tome, Billy and the Cloneasaurus. Thank you, Stephen-1 Kozeniewski, for providing me with an Audiobook of BILLY AND THE CLONEASAURUS at the request of an honest review.

Mine is about a futuristic amusement park where dinosaurs are brought to life through advanced cloning techniques. While there is not much in common with Kozeniewski's other books, the same sharp writing style and easy flow is evident. In addition to complying with OFAC and applicable local laws, Etsy members should be aware that other countries may have their own trade restrictions and that certain items may not be allowed for export or import under international laws. In Stephen Kozeniewski’s transcendental allegory Billy And The Cloneasaurus, the Platonic Cave like Williamsport-6 provides an apt setting for Billy’s story as his lighthearted quest for individual enlightenment eventually leads to deeper, more poignant revelations about western society in general and it’s obsession with consumerism and capitalism in particular.When 790’s first birthday (and scheduled execution) finally rolls around, a freak accident spares his life. Finally, the story is going somewhere, but it constantly takes the reader into unexpected directions, culminating with an ending that is both unbelievable but strangely appropriate. Seeking answers in the wilderness, he discovers a windmill with some very strange occupants, including a freakish, dinosaur-like monstrosity.
