Um... I don't even know what to say about this one. Trying to talk about any of the Next novels is hard, but this one has just got too many things going on. It's not bad, but I didn't like it. It got better towards the end, but it felt like Fforde was writing this like it was the last one until t...
‘Incredibly enough, reality TV has just got worse.’ ‘Is that possible?’ I asked. ‘Wasn’t Celebrity Trainee Pathologist the pits?’ I thought for a moment. ‘Actually, Whose Life Support Do We Switch Off ? was worse. Or maybe Sell Your Granny. Wow, the choice these days makes it all so tricky to decide...
I really enjoyed it but it lost that ½ a star because it wasn’t quite as funny as the first four books in the Thursday Next series. This is the only book that has really had a cliffhanger so I know that he’s going to write another one. I was a little disappointed that he got rid of the “Friday’s g...
I have to say, I still enjoy these. I don't know that they are as shiny and new as when Jasper Fforde was a discovery, but I do enjoy them. I felt like the one before this was a bit muddy, if I remember correctly (it was a while ago), but First Among Sequels is a thoroughly fun addition to the Thurs...

Neinneinneinneinnein - so gut ist dieser Band vom Plot her bei weitem nicht. Irgendwie gibts zuwenig Rahmenhandlung die Ideen, den Leserschwund in der Realwelt zu bekämpfen, sind bei weitem nicht so innovativ, wie ich es mir vorgestellt hätte. Lediglich der pubertierende Sohn Friday am Beginn des Ro...
I thought the first of Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next novels, The Eyre Affair, was fantastic. Funny, literate, clever - a wonderful book, especially for voracious readers. One of the funniest books I've read, and I recommended it to others, bought it for them, and just generally enjoyed it. While the...
I struggled to see how Fforde could follow the last Thursday Next book when everything was tied up so well and unfortunately my fears were realised; I liked it the least of the Thursday books I've read so far. I don't like the time-skip (I really hate when authors do that, it often feels completely...
