The Unwritten

review 1: 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 also don't like the main character, so it's been tough for me to muddle through it all. Lizzie Hexam, who finally gets a little more story behind her in this one, is fascinating, but the fact that I find out more about her through a CYOA type storyline feels like a cheat. This series is clever, for sure. Is it too clever for its own good?
review 2: Love the litterature references, Lizzie's character development and, actually, the choose-your-own-adventure part. It was a challenge to get all the possible combinations and the ambiguity of it was lovely.A little... w... moreell, not quite annoyed about the obvious Harry Potter pastige that Tommy Taylor is, but it does take me out of the story everytime a passage of that story shows up.I read all the books in a bit of a rush though, so I'm having trouble keeping my impressions separated from book to book. Still enjoying this though. less
