Probably my favorite Thursday Next book so far. And the end made me appreciate his other series (The Nursery Crimes) which I read before I started this one. Because he's clever and it's all beginning to intertwine.
This one was a bit more up and down for me than the first two in the series, which I absolutely loved. Thursday does a lot of meandering in the Well of Lost Plots and the overall plot of this book doesn't really solidify until the last quarter. However, some of the meanderings and set pieces are h...
I'll agree with Mark and say that this isn't the strongest in the series, but good fun nonetheless. Jasper Fforde plays well with literary devices, often using them to describe themselves as they appear in the story.

It's especially fun if you're a book nerd, since the characters do a lot of leaping in and out of famous works of fiction. The rules and quirks of Fforde's universe are myriad, however, and they ...
Jasper Fforde is always wonderful. In the third Thursday Next novel, a pregnant Thursday has gone into the BookWorld to escape the clutches of the Goliath Corporation. While there she deals with gramasites, rogue JurisFiction agents, and much more. Very enjoyable.
