Joanne Yenko joanneyenkowee — I am a fan of Jasper Fforde. And when I say I'm a fan, I mean I started reading his books in middle school. The Eyre Affair was the book I recommended to everyone. My family bought each new installment of the TN series the moment it came out. In highschool, we flew to England to be there for the very first Fforde Ffestival. We bought a whole new set of the TN series just to have the british covers, and so that Fforde could sign them. And when he came to our random unimportant city to do a book reading and signing, we saw him there too. And waved creepily from the back of the room when he asked if anyone had made it to the Ffestival. We are Jasper Fforde fans. And yet, this book didn't quite do it for me like his others. It was great, don't get me wrong. Its still better than even the good sci-fi/fantasy I normally read. But I didn't feel nearly the same connection to the characters that I'd become accustomed to. And while it was infinitely creative in the same way that Shades of Grey was, I felt it was a bit lacking in the intensity of its plot. The "real" Thursday Next has gone missing, and the written Thursday has been thrown into the intrigues of the book world while trying to find her. In the process of which she gains a clock-work butler, meets the imaginary daughter of the real Thursday, promotes the Toast Marketing Board, and goes through the usual shenanigans with the cross genre taxis. And really, that's all I can say about the plot. Not because I don't want to give anything away (though I don't!), but also because the plot wasn't very involved or complicated by Fforde standards. Mostly I felt that this novel was a chance for Fforde to show off his world-building skills. Which is great, I love the new wacky book world! It has his unique touch of slightly insane, completely illogical, but still possible to visually imagine and believe in! This book was also chock full of the meta-references we've all come to love. I mean, who else could pull of writing a book, that's set inside a book that we've already read, which is set inside other books that we've read! ... And have it all actually sort of make sense! Sometimes though, it got to be a little much. I felt like he often broke narrative just for little reminders of Hey, you're reading about the book world! Or Look how clever I am to think of this idea! Yes, yes, Jasper Fforde you are insanely clever. I admire you greatly! But don't you think you could tell me a little more about this written Thursday Next? She's not *our* Thursday, we know that, you've told us that, but you haven't shown us that yet, not really. We can't love her yet, because we just don't know her! (view spoiler) My personal preference rating: **** In comparison to other Jasper Fforde novels: *** Will I continue to read Thursday Next: OF COURSE Will I reread this particular book: Probably, but not any time soon, and more likely just because Fforde will continue to write from the POV of the written Thursday, and I'll want to remember her early years. I currently have no particular attachment to this installment of the series.

Glyn Dent _lyn_ent — I've been meaning to reread this school book classic for years and I finally found a copy the local op shop. A really good read. A story about really grown up things told through the voice of wonderful little girl.
