O Inescrito, Vol. 5: Ontogênese (2000) - Plot & Excerpts

This review is for books 1-5.This is what one might call the graphic novel for book lovers. The whole idea is that books fuel the world. That people can come together to all love a book, think about a book and that will fuel the magic that the world is lacking yet needs. But there's this group of people who age incredibly slowly and they control the world by controlling the literature that the world is exposed to and they'll do whatever it takes to get that control.I think.These books have a lot going on and mostly at times I feel slightly confused. Still, they are exciting and, well, graphic. The only one I had a hard time with was Leviathan. All that Moby Dick talk bored the heck out of me. Not a fan.But if you love books this could possibly be the best series of graphic novels you've ever read. Volume 5 of The Unwritten and the story is really picking up now. In fact, it's almost picking up too fast, because that would mean the story ending sooner rather than later. And this is a story that I hope will last a long, long time.Tom and his friends get hold of his fathers journals, and we finally start to see some of the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle come together. Along the way, there is a lovely homage to Superman and pulp heroes, a moving love story, and a bit of a deux ex machina in the form of Frankenstein's monster, which here makes another appearance. If I have any complaint, it's that I wish people wouldn't use faux handwriting to tell parts of a comic book story. It's often difficult to read and breaks up the story too much. At least the weird lettering used to denote some of the characters in Sandman was legible for the most part.However, that is my only real complain. That, and the fact it might be a while before I can get hold of the next volume of this great story.
