"I knocked at their door and, hearing no answer, walked in. When I was last working at SpecOps we rarely heard anything from the mildly eccentric members of the time-travelling elite, but when you work in the time business, you don’t waste it by nattering – it’s much too precious. My father always a...
Thursday has left the Bookworld after 2 years and is transitioning back to the real world and not without a fair few hurdles. Goliath is aiming for classification as a religion, Kaine is one step away from ruling all of the UK as a dictator, Danish books are being rounded up and burned by order of ...
Volume 4 in the adventures of Thursday Next, Literary Detective, is much like its immediate predecessor in terms of strengths and weaknesses alike. There are the same issues with plotting, namely Deus ex Machina, lack of agency in events (specifically, very little seems to happen because of Thursd...
These books are such a treat.

Thursday ist nach über 2 Jahren in der Bücherwelt in die Realität zurückgekehrt, zusammen mit ihrem Sohn Friday und Hamlet.

I'm looking forward to books 5 (First Among Sequels) & 6 (One of Our Thursdays Is Missing) as well as his other books T...
This was the best Thursday Next book yet. If you've read the first three, you don't really need to hear much more than that.Hamlet might be my favourite thing ever.And I teared up a little at the end I'M ONLY HUMAN.
