I was really torn whether to give this book three stars after all, since the second to last chapter really saved the entire story for me - it was the first chapter which I found truly funny and charming and clever. But I think it wouldn't be truthful to rate an entire book on the basis of one chapte...
I loved this book so much. I urge people who are fans of classics to read this one. It is oh so British and I loved it. I am so glad I have got the sequels! :)
I liked this and I'm glad I read this--but I expected to love it, and I didn't and won't be reading more of Fforde. The book has a fantastic core premise: fictional characters can drop into the real world and intervene in lives; real people can drop into works of fiction and refashion the story. The...
I adored the premise of this novel. In a vaguely dystopian, parallel-world version of 1985, a master criminal is kidnapping fictional characters and holding them to ransom. LiteraTec agent Thursday Next must rescue them before their stories can be changed forever. Sounds fantastic, right? Characters...
I had such, amazingly high hopes for this book. I adoredShades of Grey (no, not Fifty Shades of Grey,Godfuckingdamnit) and assumed that a novel written by the same brilliant quirky mind in a universe where you can step into novels, especially when stepping into one of my all time favorites, Jane Eyr...
I struggled with this book initially, probably for the first third, in fact, and I was not completely won over until the final third. The main reason for this was the gap between my prior expectations and the reality of the book. All I really knew about it was that characters could enter and leave w...
This book was so delightfully different from any other books I've read. It's got time-travel and secret government departments and tons of literary references. The main Jane Eyre plot doesn't get going until more than halfway but if you love that book like I do, the wait is worth it. I will definite...
Since I already reviewed the book version of The Eyre Affair, I won’t say too much about the story here. All of the strange things that happen in this book, the things that make it remind me of Douglas Adams, were initially a little harder to follow as an audiobook. That got better as I went, but I ...
Thursday Next arbeitet bei SpecOps-27, bei den Literary Detectives. Wenn wertvolle Bücher und Manuskripte gestohlen werden und gegen Lösegeld eingefordert werden, muss sie den Fall aufklären. Der dritt-gefährlichste Mann auf dem Planeten, Acheron Hades (sein Bruder heißt Styx, da kann man ja nur bö...
