It takes some, getting used to the complete mess of how things are in the Thursday Next books. SO much is changing all the time. But after a While, you get the hang of the rhythm.
And then is it a seriously good story. I already look forward to the next installment.

Never have I felt so devastated over a character losing her husband like *that* and someone, I don’t care who, needs to pay for my therapy.

A quarter of the way done (chapter 8) and I can't find any sort of main plot yet (though I thought one was forming in chapters 4 and 4.5). I think I enjoyed the uniqueness of the first book and while I still kind of enjoy the fun aspect of this, I think I'm done waiting for it to pick up.

Just as engaging as the first book in the series! And just as strange.

Curveball after curveball, Fforde's universe gets even more complex and enchanting.

Love it - I'm always lost in a good book myself. I want to join Thursday on her capers.

Despite my appreciation for the premise and eccentricity of this series, I would not consider this a good book. While it offers a quick and entertaining read, I had higher expectations for the plot. Perhaps the plot itself was not lacking, but rather just distraction from the enjoyable bits of the book.
