Book Review: The Great Good Thing

The Great Good Thing (Richard Jackson Books by Roderick Townley

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I thought this book was super clever. The author explored a concept I've never read a book about - what happens to the characters in a book when you close the book, and how do those characters affect your life? He links these characters into the Reader's life and dreams in an inventive way. The idea of it is a little complicated at first, but once you catch the vision, it's an interesting story. I especially enjoyed the first few chapters as he describes the characters exploring the pages of their book. It explores how important books are (especially in our youth), and how the characters can impact our lives for years to come. It's the kind of book that makes you want to share your favorite stories with your friends and family.
