dorhastings 's review for:
The Eyre Affair
by Jasper Fforde
When I picked up this book, I was in a particular mood. I needed a good book. Needed it. Furthermore, I needed a strong female protagonist, someone who would start out strong but would carry on through to the end, and that's exactly what I got in this book.
One of the main things I loved about this book was one Thursday Next. She's not quite so young but also not quite so old, and she rather acts and thinks her age. I love her background in the war. Overall, I just really love her approach to life. She's a very straightforward woman who knows her strengths and limitations. There's a nice pace to this book as Thursday chases after one Acheron Hades, criminal mastermind (though he assures everyone he's not mad) and ruiner of classical texts just for the hell of it. I'm very much looking forward to the next book. Many thanks to Deana and to Claire for the recommendation. I was holding off in case my feelings toward the book turned sour, but it never happened!
