Consistently good series. Consistently inventive series. And I suspect a rather excellent exposition on descent into madness.

I enjoyed this Thursday Next tale. It felt a little like a reboot and that was okay with me. It brought some new freshness to the story. There was a time I was unsure if I would keep going with is series. This book changed my mind.
Besser als der 4. Teil, und mit einem fiesen Cliffhanger am Ende...

This book was a little slow in starting – I didn’t know where the main plot was going to pop up. And so much was going on a lot of the time that I found it a tad hard to keep up. But this is to be expected considering this is technically the beginning of another series. It’s introducing plot lines that will be followed through the next four books. I always feel a little insecure about my reading skills after finishing a Fforde book. He turns your brain to thinking ways you never thought it could contort into – especially with his different versions of time, his different Bookworld settings, and characters who are the same person but a different version. Trust me, it’s worth a nice long sit down and read.
I'd actually give it more like a 4.5. More fine, clever fun from Fforde. LOVE.
