A review by gwentolios
The Unwritten, Vol. 2: Inside Man by Mike Carey
5.0
I picked out both 1 and 2 at the same time, but didn't see any numbers and so accidently read this one first. Didn't matter. This flowed really well and I was sucked into the story on the first page. Suck in so badly I have since recommended this to three people in the past 12 hours.
People are asking me to describe this, and it's hard. There are elements of a lot. Harry Potter, Inkspell, a touch of Boy in the Striped Pajamas in the middle, and a heavy dose of mystery. What really captured my attention though are the other little pieces snuck in here and there - news stories, website meta data, side stories - that dive deep into my love of cultural studies.
Tom, Tommy, where's the line between fiction and fact, between imagination and real life, and what happens when a popular culture item becomes so ingrained in a portion of the population? I love literature analysis, and having a story that does that to itself is amazing.
