    Thoughts from 100%

    This is Inkheart if it fell off a staircase and broke its spine.

    Don't get me wrong, I liked the story but its like I just read the same plot twice. The whole foundation of this book is the same as Inkheart. Maybe I shouldn't be comparing the two but its hard not to because I very coincidentally read this book after Inkheart and everything was too fresh in my head to forget.

    All in all, the book wasn't too bad. A little slow and shallow, though. If you've read Inkheart, don't read this. If you want to read something like this, then read Inkheart. (I'm jk if you wanna read this go ahead)

    PS: Sorry, I did not intend to make this an Inkheart promotion campaign, it is completely by accident.

    "'...An invisible man is a man of power.' He stopped for a moment to sneeze violently."

    This book plays out like a comedy skit and I don't think that was its intended purpose.

    "I'm invisible. That's what I want you to understand." "Anyone could see that."

    I'm loving this beginning, so far its so intriguing and interesting and the main character seems to be so enigmatic that it automatically makes the book very engaging.

    I was going through the books I read this year and saw that the first book I read was "The Bad Beginning" by Lemony Snicket and that just sounds so ominous, its like a foreshadowing of sorts (although I hope not😬) but I like it, its so ridiculously funny hehe

    This was such a hopeful book, man, I haven't read anything like it in so long. The humor was fun, the stakes, the suspense, the elaborate problem solving, I loved it all so much. The characters were a little static, but it didn't feel bad to me. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed it. Can't think of a better book to have finished my reading goal with.

    "Freedom is the freedom to say that two and two is four. If that is granted, all else follows." and "I understand HOW: I do not understand WHY" are two absolute banger quotes from this chapter.
