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...
When last readers left Thursday Next, she had succeeded in saving the world...again...while finding her happily ever after with Landon, Friday, and the rest of her family and friends. First Among Sequels begins over a decade later, as readers discover the changes that have occurred since the Superho...
I'm not sure if I liked this so much because it's really good, or because I took a break from mainlining the Thursday Next books and it's such a joy to come back to the series.I thought the bit about what the Subjunctives would have done was brilliant. There's so much humor in these books that's so ...
I thought I'd be taking a much longer break from the 'Thursday Next' books, but then this turned up in the bargain bin at Job Lots. Even then it was far-ish down on my 'to-read' list, but then I woke up this weekend muffle-headed from the night before and couldn't focus on the books I was already re...

It's 15 years after the "Something Rotten" events have taken place, and Thursday is busily leading a double life. On...
I love, love, love this series, but this book wasn't quite as good as the previous four. I guess that's bound to happen at some point. Hopefully Thursday Next has not completely jumped the shark.
In this fifth book about Thursday Next, Fforde's unusual heroine has seemingly retired from her busy and dangerous career as a literary detective and enforcer of justice in the Book world. Her husband thinks she's working with her former colleagues in a carpet laying business, but of course, she is ...
I like the way Thursday interact with her son, who might or might not become somone important in the future. With the two versions of the son appear, I still like the one she is living with now, then a cleaner more discipline of a possible future. If you like books, and like book that is about books...
If you have never read any of the Thursday Next series, I recommend that you NOT start with this one. Even the author, on his (content-heavy but challenging to navigate) website suggests that this series be read in order, and despite the First Among Sequels subtitle, this is actually the fifth novel...
