While I enjoyed (both) the stories, it felt a little bit like the author didn't have enough material for a full novel so padded it out by including the book within a book. However, as I progressed through, I found that it was interesting to see how Chip's "real life" was showing up in his writing. I would try another book in this series.

I liked the main character's growth as a person in his community and the mysteries were averagely compelling. I wasn't that fond of the back and forth between the two stories.
