"There is another 1985, somewhere in the could-have-been, where Thursday Next is a literary detective without equal, fear, or boyfriend. Thursday is on the trail of the villainous Acheron Hades who has been kidnapping characters from works of fiction and holding them to ransom. Jane Eyre herself has been plucked from the novel of the same name, and Thursday must find a way into the book to repair the damage.
She also has to find time to halt the Crimean conflict, persuade the man she loves to marry her, rescue her aunt from inside a Wordsworth poem and figure out who really wrote Shakespeare's plays. Aided and abetted by a cast of characters that includes her time-travelling father, Jack Schitt of the all-powerful Goliath Corporation, a pet dodo named Pickwick and Edward Rochester himself, Thursday embarks on an adventure that will take your breath away."

I loved it! I had so much fun with Thursday Next that I had to rush out and buy this one and the rest of the series for my Private Collection. I guess this says it all! :)
I also had trouble not telling everyone I know how good this book is or sharing all the bits and pieces I liked best. If you're curious, just pick it up and you won't regret it!
Thanks fflloorr for recommending this wonderful book!

Thanks for the loan, Virgulina!!

Simply marvelous! Fforde can really catch the reader with this kind of story and all those references to classic books, as well as to Jane Eyre's.

Thanks, again, for the loan, Virgulina. And sorry for the delay...

It's back home now! :o)
