This is one of the most creative books I read in 2013. After losing their author a group of characters look for a new home. The book is split up between chapters about the characters themselves and the new author they hope to inhabit.
The whole thing was done smoothly and in a most entertaining fashion. Shipley has a whole lot of originality and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Danielle Shipley has done it again! OK! Wow, this book was hopping, in all the best ways possible of course. I loved all the characters. They each had their own personality so it would be hard to confuse any of them. To be honest, when I first saw the description of the book and the various characters within I was a bit confused. I quickly understood why after a few chapters. All the characters are inherently good but they have their flaws but you can't help but love them for it. Lovable. That's pretty much the one word that sums up all the character in my opinion. It's still quick paced and still leaves you wanting more but I feel it does have a bit more of a completed conclusion but it's pretty open ended but satisfying nonetheless.
This book probably speaks most to us who are or want to become writers. But I feel this can apply to not just writers but also artists or other creative types. The theme of the story is nearly universal in terms of creativity. INSPIRED is more than an apt name for the title. It has helped rekindle my eagerness to write, draw, and create. I have this sudden urge to do fan art of the characters as well. XD
If you couldn't already tell I enjoyed the book. It's creative and pushes the story telling just a bit. I feel that Shipley authentically told what it's like to write a story but in a creative way that makes you experience it without having to do the writing. I wholeheartedly recommend you all to pick up the book. You won't be sorry that you did!
One last thing, one lesson I learned from this book: If I ever feel like I'm in a block, I'm going to blame my muse. (just kidding)
4.5 out of 5 rating for me.
