One of our Thursdays is missing – Jasper Fforde


Dear Readers

The real Thursday Next has gone missing and now the book Thursday has to prove her worth. Inside the book world we learn about what happens to unread books and why sometimes a good book suddenly makes us fall asleep and of course who regulates the metaphor consumption. The inter-play between genres and famous characters is thoroughly amusing. If you are an enthusiast for the classics, particularly Crime and Punishment, you will certainly enjoy all of the quips. A good mystery with all the traditional fixings slightly mixed up and a few existentialist questions thrown in. While it is always fun to read a series out of sequence, it is not for everyone. Though I thoroughly enjoyed this book, there were a number of inside anecdotes and previously explained concepts that took me a while to understand. If you prefer being the know all the time, read the series from the beginning, The Eyre Affair.
