I'm interested in reading more, which is always a good sign with a series. Like a lot of Jasper Fforde's books, this one takes a little while to get to the action, simply because so much time needs to be spent showing you how the world he created works. I love that the worlds are so fleshed out, but after a while it can become tedious to not have any real action.

I loved trying to explain this book to people, I sounded like a complete nutjob.
