The fifth in this madcap series
starring the wonderful Thursday Next, an agent with her work cut out
trying to save our fictional, but very real, heroes. To try and explain
these books is impossible, they are seriously original. If you are not
a fan we suggest you start at the beginning with The Eyre Affair;
it is wacky, wonderful, inventive stuff with folk nipping in and out of
books in an alternative world very close to ours. All we would really
like to say is, you have got to read them to believe them.
The Thursday Next and
Nursery Crime series are a quirky
treat for any bibliophile. Fforde draws readers into hilarious and
surreal alternative universes, such as a 1985 Britain where dodos are a
common pet and the Goliath Corporation controls the world. Favorite
fictional characters have active lives behind their pages, and literary
factionalism is more influential than politics. Full of clever
entertainment and sly references,
The Eyre Affair is a tour de force of the small but highly entertaining science fiction
literary detective thriller. I view it as one of my greatest
accomplishments that I was referenced as an “Out World” writer in
First Among Sequels.
