Another exciting and mostly wacky adventure with Thursday Next and company. It was a good, but not my favourite in the series, and it didn't wrap things up as neatly as I would have liked. I think the best series installments can be read as stand-alone books as well as being part of a series, and ...
I enjoyed this much more than Fforde's previous TN novel, One of our Thursdays is Missing, I especially liked: the focus on Thursday's family, Fforde's take on librarians and library services (as an ex-librarian, I really appreciated this), the culmination of the Jenny-is-a-mindworm/Aornis story ar...
I don't really remember why I picked up my first Thursday Next novel, all those years ago, but I have sure liked every single one of them. The last few, I have chosen to get as audiobooks from Audible, and I think that has enhanced my enjoyment. I'll probably mention this once or ten times more: I t...
*Check out http://www.infinitereads.com for other reviews and sundry thoughts!* Jasper Fforde fans, rejoice! The Woman Who Died a Lot, the seventh installment in his Thursday Next series, delivers all the imagination, complexity and laughs we've come to expect from Fforde and his book-hopping, butt-...
I was so disappointed with the last book in this series; I was afraid Thursday Next had jumped the shark. Thank GSD this book redeemed it. I laughed out loud several times. And was tickled by the cleverness of Fforde. Though it's still not quite as brilliant as the first three/four. I can't wait to ...
It’s 2004 in the alternate Britain of the now semiretired literary detective Thursday Next, and she’s getting older—54—but as her husband Landon tells her, when weird comes knocking gray hairs count more than the lost physical prowess she’s mourning. Weird, ironic, and mind-bendingly wonderful is of...

A good bottle of wine, a summer's day, a long-running sitcom, one's life, and eventually our species. The question fo...
You know, I keep thinking I'm going to be able to write this review, but I still don't know exactly what I want to say about it yet.It's probably my favourite so far of the Thursday Next series, which kind of surprises me, seeing as how it has so little of the things I generally love the most about ...
As usual, I couldn't wait to dive into another of Thursday Next's adventures. And while Jasper delivers wonderfully quirky ideas, well-written sub-plots and hilarious dialogue, I missed the BookWorld and the literary references. My favorite sub-story is by far the Jenny plot line (awesomesauce!) but...
