A bit conflicted here.  It's a lighthearted, fun book, but it felt like it was doing a bit too much.  The "Eyre affair" part of The Eyre Affair didn't really get started until about the 80% mark.  There were a lot of sub-plots and world building that happened before that.  I enjoyed it, but I feel like it could have been a much tighter book and packed a bigger punch.  Will I read another Thursday Next novel? ... maybe.
