molokov 's review for:
The Eye of Zoltar
by Jasper Fforde
Fforde's Last Dragonslayer series is, like his other books, set in a rather strange world which the main characters find commonplace, with the plot revolving around something even weirder happening to them. However, it's usually been one of his weaker series (being aimed at children, so kept a little simpler), compared to Thursday Next, Nursery Crimes or Shades of Grey.
However, this (the third in the series) is actually quite riveting, with Jennifer and friends (and people she doesn't really like) heading off on an exciting and perilous quest, sorry, search for the Eye of Zoltar. The pacing holds up really well throughout the book, and I quite enjoyed the story, the narration, and even laughed out loud at the occasional joke. Far better than its predecessor, but still not quite up to Fforde's Shades of Grey level.
