Another exciting, imaginative, and somewhat weird adventure featuring literary detective Thursday Next. Lots of fun though a few of the side tangents could have been edited down a bit. Listened to the audio version which was read with great enthusiasm by Elizabeth Sastre.

Nach den Ereignissen des ersten Teils, ist Thursday nun ein warer Star. SIe muss von einem Pressetermin zum nächsten, darf aber nicht erzählen, was wirklich passiert ist.

I loved this one as much as the first. If you aren't a book geek I can't imagine reading it for the mystery but if you are, and enjoy inside book jokes and wordplay these are great. I loved Miss Havisham, loved that she was competent and brave and not the pathetic creature from Great Expectations....

Lost in a Good Book continues where the first novel ends and ends with a nice lead-in to the third novel in the series. The entire world created by Jasper Fforde remains surprising, as Fforde shares more details of his version of England in the mid-1980s with his typical tongue-in-cheek methodology....

Loved this one. Loved the Rocky Horror-esque production of Richard III (it starts with the audience yelling, "WHEN is the winter of our discontent?").If you love books, love reading, and enjoy humor, you'll likely enjoy the Thursday Next series.
