Five things about The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š

1. This was mostly fun. I kept losing interest though and leaving it to sit unread for days at a time. It just never fully engaged me. 
2. It reminded me a lot of Daniel Oโ€™Malleyโ€™s series that starts with The Rook which I really enjoy. In fact, I enjoy it a lot more than I enjoyed this. 
3. This was a lot. A lot going on. A lot to follow. A lot to learn. 
4. It was funny and harrowing and mysterious. 
5. On paper, I should have loved this. But I just found it hard to engage with. Sometimes books and readers just donโ€™t click. Thereโ€™s no fault to be hadโ€ฆitโ€™s just not a match.
