Leviathan (Unwritten 4), by Mike Carey

Leviathan (Unwritten 4), by Mike Carey, 144 pages

This fourth installment in the Unwritten series is my favorite to date.  It features a romance between Tommy and Lizzie, someone finally figures out that Savoy's a vampire, a creepy puppet master, and Tommy's journey into the story of Moby Dick.  The best part is when Tommy finds himself inside the great whale along with all other literary characters who were swallowed by a whale in a story.  His mission, as told to him by Frankenstein (it makes just as little sense in the book), is to find 'the source', or the truth of all things-  which is about as confusing as deciphering the symbols in Moby Dick.

A bonus in this volume is another look at the rabbit known as Pauly Bruckner- thrown down the staircase in the last volume, here the reader finds out what happens in the staircase.
