I can recommend Hidden's X recommendation.
But seriously, Dontnod brought a bit of fresh air to this industry...I hope these guys grab a few GOTY awards among all the big titles this year.

That's great !
I played ep4 just before this weekend, I had been holding off playing it in anticipation of playing the last 2 eps without a significant gap in between. This is a really superbly athmospheric adventure game and one of the most enjoyable titles I've played in recent years.
My biggest gripe with Telltales "TWD & TWAU", is that they felt more like movies than actual adventure-games with a bare minimum of challenge. LIS feels like a more reasonable compromise between the classical adventure filled with puzzles to solve and inventory items to use/combine and the Telltale style "modern adventure" that only has a tiny bit of worthwhile interaction.
Sure, I certainly wouldn't have objected to a bit more of the "classical style" in LIS, but the story, the characters, the environments, the voice-acting and graphics are all so great that I still feel perfectly satisfied with the level of interaction that Dontnod provides us.

So the game will be complete? Might give it a go then, as I prefer to experience episodic content in one go (not only games). I had started playing Dreamfall Chapters but decided to wait until it's 'finished', too.

Yes, ep5 is supposed to be the final chapter. I too prefer episodic content as a single whole, but in the case of LIS I made the mistake of starting to play it "early" (can't recall the reason why that happened).
I'm also awaiting the final chapters of "Dreamfall" before I install it, I assume that they too are aiming for 5 episodes, since that seems to have become (more or less) the standard number?
Yes, 5 books. Book 3 came out in June.

Me neither, it looks preachy and pretentious. I'm not interested in learning the (moralistic) meaning of life by playing as some brat.
It looks like The Longest Journey except with worse writing and extremely dumbed down gameplay. Not sure why the media is raving about this. But then again these are the same people who think Gone Home is a masterpiece.
Probably because not only does it spare them the effort of having to play the game (since there is no gameplay), but also because it spares them the effort of having to try to understand the plot, since a heavy handed narrative is imposed to them and impossible to miss. Reviewers like these dumbed down non-games because it spares them from having to do any efforts or have any form of independent thought.

True, true...it's bad enough dealing with preachy, pretentious people pushing their morality onto others in real life, to deal with the same in a video game.
