I don't know if there were deliberate tributes to Jasper Fforde in this, but it seemed too much of a pale imitation of the matster of the slightly absurd slightly alternate universe. This, for me, wasn't that funny and was rather too crude. I won't be reading the rest.

Trueley cool
We all at one time or anothe think we are living in an alternate universe. This movie story kinds of makes us believe that is possible. The cinematography makes the movie even more enjoyable with its effects and camera work. The actors who were chosen for the film were perfect and the story dosent disappoint. Follow the white rabbit if you want to go for a ride.

First off, this book was nothing like I expected! Going by the cover and by the synopsis, I thought it was going to be a ghost book (which is why I downloaded it in the first place). However, it has no ghosts in it. It's about a parallel universe/alternate reality.
Saying that, I did love this book. I found myself staying up at night just to read the next chapter. The characters are well formed and so is the plot.
There is a love triangle which is kind of annoying since they seem to be in every book at the moment. I also found Julia a bit annoying at the end of the book which I won't elaborate on because of spoilers.
However, for the most part, this book does make you believe that an alternate reality could exist. I'd definitely recommend this book to all fans of YA.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The beginning starts with a mystery that leaves you excited to discover what it means. I was worried that I wouldn't be satisfied with the solution or that the ending would disappoint me enough that the book wouldn't be enjoyable. I was wrong on all counts. The book delightfully sets up an alternate universe with interesting parallels to our own. The magic system is creative, novel, and well-explained. Finally, the characters are well-rounded, three-dimensional, and fun. I enjoyed every minute of it- couldn't put it down!
