taffy_sea 's review for:
The Eyre Affair
by Jasper Fforde
Full of clever literary puns and allusions. The revisionist history (the Crimean War between England and Imperialist Russian is still going in the 1980s) is zany and fun. Playful, silly, lighthearted. For all that, there's some sound commentary on massive corporate power and the futility of war. I thought it started out much stronger than it finished. Jane Eyre is one of my favorite novels, and I love literature, history, fantasy and puns, so this was a good story in my book. I don't think I'll re-read it, though.
