This sequel doesn't disappoint; it's as quixotic and cloaked in mystery as the trilogy, replete with similarly captivating foldouts and handwritten letters. Each illustration is intricately drawn with special attention paid to the tiniest details, like the faded postmarks on exotic stamps. Old-fashioned letters create an atmosphere of adventure, surrounding you with colorful images of ancient symbols. The correspondence between the four players flies off to real and mythical lands conjuring up dark forces and love affairs. It is impossible not to want to know what happens next. If you were charmed by Griffin and Sabine, then it's absolutely unthinkable to miss <I>The Gryphon</I>. <I>--J.P.

The story line was great at the begining, but starts to wax just too wierd at the end. It almost has a LOST like feel to it for a while, but doesn't wrap up as well as I imagine LOST will.]]> 5 0 false false Mon Aug 06 08:32:00 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 06 08:35:01 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Sat May 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat May 17 12:22:47 -0700 2008 Sat May 17 12:26:16 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Nov 14 19:10:54 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 14 19:14:44 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Oct 11 11:09:26 -0700 2007 Thu Jan 03 14:00:48 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=567687
