This was the sequel to the Eyre Affair and definitely just as good - one of those books with a little bit of everything and more than a few surprises thrown in. My only real complaint is that Fforde's impressions of what a woman is like during pregnancy was more than a little disappointing - we hear about the baby like once every eight chapters, and while I'll consent that Next was terribly busy in this book, no pregnancy is so easy that you can ignore it entirely. That said, I loved it.

This series is just as funny and clever as it was 20 years ago. So nice to be re-reading, like hanging out with an old friend.

I loved this book. So much cleverness in one place. I give it 4.5 stars. I wish we could give half stars because this book deserves more than four. And I'm sure the author is a shining example of humanity, too. I hope that makes it through the censors.
