Stories Are The Only Thing Worth Dying for

The Unwritten is an eleven book graphic chronicle or the life of Tom Taylor, The son of a famous writer. In fact, the reason that Wilson Taylor is famous is his son. Wilson Taylor wrote a series of books about Tommy Taylor, a fictional boy based on his son, and there was the real pull for readers. A fictional boy and a real boy growing up at the same time, with virtually the same name. In the few excerpts you see of Wilson Taylor’s books you see that there are many parallels to other famous works, such as The Lord Of The Rings, Winnie The Pooh The Hobbit, The Chronicles Of Narnia, and most predominantly, Harry Potter.

Tom Taylor struggles with his life as other people begin to proclaim that he is Tommy Taylor, and that he is the second coming of christ. Tom Taylor’s life becomes more and more difficult as his life begins to mingle with Tommy’s and danger starts materializing at every twist in the path.

At first Tom Taylor only notices the discrepancies along the transition from reality to story. As those lines blur, and Tom Taylor starts to become one with Tommy Taylor, he begins to see which way the current is really pulling. He realizes that It was reality that was different from the stories, and that reality itself could be changed by belief from the masses. Tom Embraces his life as one of the few who have been given special abilities by Leviathan, the giant whale that feeds off stories.
I recommend this series for anyone who has the time to read them, and anyone who doesn't. It is a great story, even if it has some violence and explicit images. Definitely worth your time.
