Pressestimmen
"Many have tried and some have succeeded in writing mashups with famed literary characters, but Parry knocks it out of the park... Just plain wonderful."―Kirkus (starred review)"Fun, witty, and full of insights about the powerful effect of stories on our lives, this book is highly recommended. Give it to readers who devoured Jasper Fforde, Jim C. Hines' Libriomancer (2012), and Genevieve Cogman's The Invisible Library (2016), and to readers looking for adventurous fantasy with a soupçon of family drama."―Booklist (starred review)"H.G. Parry's ambitious debut novel is a delight of magic and literature, love and adventure. With vibrant characters and a passion for story that shines through every word, this engaging read establishes Parry as a writer to watch."―Kat Howard"A delightful blend of adventure and mystery and marvel, a story in which the fantastical becomes real. This beautifully-written novel is an exploration of the power fiction wields -- the power to inform and to change, even to endanger, our everyday world."―Louisa Morgan"A daring exploration of the worlds within words. Parry writes with the keen insight of Sherlock Holmes, the generous heart of David Copperfield, and the haunting soul of Dorian Grey."―Jordanna Max Brodsky"A joyous adventure through all the tales you've ever loved. Funny, charming, clever and heartfelt, you're absolutely going to adore The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep."―Tasha Suri"H.G. Parry has crafted an imaginative and unique exploration of how words shift our lives in ways big and small. The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep is a rollicking adventure that thrills like Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere mashed up with Penny Dreadful in the best post-modern way. Equal parts sibling rivalry, crackling mystery, and Dickensian battle royale, it'll be one of your most fun reads this year."―Mike Chen"Clever, emotionally compelling, and teeming with witty allusions. In a story reminiscent of the literary world-bending adventures of Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next, Parry has crafted a tale which will appeal to the cherished dreams-and secret nightmares-of all bibliophiles."―Cass Morris"Parry does a lovely dance on and around the stage of Dickens and other classical literature, playing fast and loose with the nature of reality to tell a story about the transformative act of the reading process and the importance of family, both found and not. The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep is dead clever and enormously satisfying."―Vivian Shaw"If you've ever checked the backs of your wardrobe for snow and lamp-light -- if you've ever longed to visit Pemberley House or 221B Baker Street, to battle the Jabberwock or wander through a fictional London fog -- this book belongs to you. It's a star-studded literary tour and a tangled mystery and a reflection on reading itself; it's a pure delight."―Alix E. Harrow

If you're going to write a genre novel, and let's face it, the literary characters-enter-the-real-world trope IS a genre dating back to, at the very least "The Eyre Affair" (and the rest of the Thursday Next books), still the verry best (although I can say a lot about the Bookwanderers and a whole bunch of others) you've got to either respect the rules, or have a darn good and clever reason for NOT.And the simplest and most basic of those rules is: The literary characters who "come to life" have to, at base, BE those characters, or WHAT ON EARTH IS THE POINT?!?By page 10 a fatal author's mistake occurs (spoiler alert: although, I mean, Page 10!) Parry has the title character become a SHAPE-SHIFTER!Now, I am not going to go into where this leads or any other plot points. I am going to say that, at this stage of the book Parry has neither earned our trust nor established his own rules enough to justify his (her?) take and the whole house of cards (as Alice might say-but not in this book) falls down irrepairablyI LOVE this genre: I really don't love this "variant"
Certainly, having characters come to life from the pages of books isn't a new thing. Just Jane Austen fan fic alone is filled with that sort of thing, and that's only the tip of the iceberg.But this one seems really clever and I found it quite intriguing.The novel is set in New Zealand (although the author seems to be a person of mystery, he or she is evidently from there), and the more interesting characters are from Dickens. Dr. Charles Sutherland, a child literary prodigy, is able to bring characters and objects out of books and into the world, to the dismay of his lawyer brother, Rob. But it turns out Dr. Sutherland isn't the only one ... and suddenly, reality as we know it is at risk.That sounds a bit clichéed, and on the surface, perhaps it is. But it's just all so much fun. The book characters --- Millie especially --- are engaging and multi-dimensional. Rob's clashes with brother Charlie have a ring of truth and are really humorous. And the author displays a wide knowledge of Victorian and Regency literature. If you're a fan of that era, this book is a must read. If you're not a fan, it just could make you one.One thing to note, although it perhaps takes a careful reading not to miss this: the characters are not necessarily true to their book selves, and in some cases vary a lot. The explanation is that the characters are brought forth as the reader might have envisioned them. This is a subtle point and if you read the book attentively will become more clear.The prose is stellar. Whoever this mystery author may be, he/she has a fabulous background in literature, is a very accomplished writer, and above all--- the thing missing from many such writers and MFA students--- knows how to tell a story and keep the reader turning the pages. There is tension and suspense throughout, with hardly a letup, marred only slightly by a tendency to be a bit repetitious in spots.I just love this book and I hope the mystery author will continue to write and publish. Five stars.
I received a copy of this book specifically to write a review. That said, I try to be honest and open in all my reviews.You have seen this plot before. The movie "Inkheart (2008)" had this plot as did the books: the Sword and the Pen, the Number of the Beast, the Eyre Affair, the Clockwork Affair, ... and hundreds of others.The premise of the book is that the protagonists brother has the ability to bring fictional characters to life.Well, that creates some interesting complications because his family does not want the world to know about.Then, the twists kick in.Before talking about some of the twists, overall, it is an interesting twist on a well loved theme. I found it a little hard to suspend disbelief by the time I reached a certain point in the novel (one, two, half a dozen too many improbable leaps).Also, there are some very nasty, grim things that happen in this book. It is not really suitable for children in spite of the descriptions to the contrary.Your mileage may vary.**Beware Spoilers Follow**The sibling that can bring characters to life is interesting, but well plowed ground.The author changes things up by introducing the mundane protagonist (the brother of the creator/character enlivener) to the now real literary characters by introducing the notion that there are lots and lots and lots of characters that have crossed over since writing began many millennia ago. In fact, the book says that this is the origin of stories about supernatural creatures.By the by, it is not a leap for you to realize that those creatures are still out there today. It is apparent from the story that most of the characters that cross over are essentially immortal, or at least ageless. In fact, the creator can imbue the characters wit supernatural abilities.The next twist is that there is a parallel dimension, "the street," where many of these characters congregate, and the brothers travel there.The next twist is that the end of the mundane world is about to occur based on these fictional characters, and there is absolutely nothing that the brothers can do about it.The next twist is that the brother/creator is not a human at all, he is a changeling!Which leads to biggest reveal, though the audience suspects it at the 1/3 point in the book, the mom of the boys is also a creator! And, she pulled the creator/Charlie out of the other dimension.The main, big bad, evil character is called the summoner. The summoner is the one who is going to cause the end of days for the mundane world.The next major twist is that Charlie actually created the summoner, who happens to be a supernatural power endowed fictional character that Charlie has pulled across.The final, and honestly unwelcomed, twist is that even after the villain and her minions are killed, the mundane world is in fact still doomed.What?!? Yes.The book is well written. The dialogue is interesting and feels natural. The setting is good, though I was confused about which mundane areas were supposedly real and which were supposed to be completely fictional. The book muddles this more than a bit.For me, it was just too many twists ("a hat on a hat"), and I very much disliked the ending. After investing dozens of hours to reading the book, having there be no way for the forces of good to prevail felt a bit disappointing.Some will love this book, others will not.
