cmrams 's review for:

The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde

5.0

---

First installment of the Thursday Next series. I fully enjoyed this book. The world where lines between time, literature, folklore, and the real world are all blurred. I loved the semi chaotic nature of things. Names are entertaining. Characters blatantly change the course of history subtlety throughout the novel. Thursday Next, our heroine, has a rogue time-traveling father who occasionally pops in and out, hinting at his ongoing alterations to history. The main struggle in this first adventure involves Charlotte Bronte's work "Jane Eyre." The way they accidentally "changed" the ending of the novel was brilliant. Perhaps I have found a new series to fall in love with!
