It's like Inception and Harry Potter invited a Choose Your Own Adventure book for a sleepover. I'm not completely sold on this series, mostly because it makes the reader do all the imaginative work.

I preferred this to the last volume. I am still undecided whether I like this series as a whole. Good and bad. I love the literary nods and the concept of metafiction. How can I not as such a bibliophile? I find the imagination of this series infectious, but there is a lot of meanness with the story...
Another win for Carey and Gross!Even if the book wasn't as it good as it is, it would merit a lot of praise for the "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" issue that made sense and was shaded enough to overcome the substantial gimmick-factor of the premise. The Unwritten Next: 'Leviathan' Previous: 'Insi...
Worth reading for the choose your own adventure section. Is Lizzie Hexam a mentally disturbed young woman named Jane Waxman or is she actually a character from Our Mutual Friend brought to life? Did Wilson Taylor introduce her to magical means of entering into fictional worlds or did he push her f...
