Why read it?
1 author picked Bookweird as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A gentler, kinder version of Inkheart and The Untold Tale, this novel is still thrilling. I love the idea of consuming a book as literally as we do figuratively. In this one, our protagonist absentmindedly eats a page out of his favourite bedtime story and wakes up inside it.

From J.M.'s list on meta-fiction about books.
