My rating went from 4 to 5 stars once I hit the choose your own adventure segment. Love this series! ( )

Wilson Taylor does indeed return, as predicted, but he doesn't stick around for long. In fact, he only lingers just long enough to almost explain things to Tom before he gets killed. Thankfully Tom's magic seems to have kicked in, or at least he's started to wise up to things, so that he can start dismantling the secret organization that's controlling everything. Even if he doesn't have any interest in this larger goal it's probably a good idea to take them out before they manage to kill him since they seem pretty hellbent on doing so... ( )

I made it through volume 3 and had to stop. It's just not my thing. It's boring. I don't care about the characters and it jumps around so much I get so confused. The illustrations are great and that's why I gave it a one star. ( )

This volume doesn't answer all the questions. However, it also doesn't give me the impression of being lead along by the nose that I got from volume 2. My faith is somewhat restored in the series, and I look forward to reading volume 4. ( )

This is the third volume in The Unwritten series. It continues the story of Tommy Taylor and includes such adventures as the release of the new Tommy Taylor novel, Tommy's confrontation with this father and his discovery of more details about his purpose.

I continued to love this series. I like that way it blurs the line between fiction and reality and brings into question what is a story and what is not a story. I also love the references I see in the story to Harry Potter. I know it makes me sound like a huge fangirl but I get all giddy everytime I see a Harry Potter reference anywhere.

I think this series is a must for any lover of books.
