'Stumbling upon Ellcock’s secret universe, one’s art receptors attach to new images with new meanings, and one experiences a shock of awakening… He is breaking up our ossified ways of seeing and thinking. He is making it possible to start over, to start fresh, to blaze a new path through the endlessly fertile woods of reality' Whitehot Magazine
'An absolute wow of a book… At times I felt uncomfortable, I was definitely challenged, and was left feeling that this book had taken on a life of its own within my thoughts and feelings. The Book of Change, so darkly beautiful and provocative, has been chosen as a LoveReading Star Book' Liz Robinson, LoveReading.co.uk
