Can Thursday find a Shakespeare clone to stop this hostile takeover? Can she vanquish Kaine and prevent the world from plunging into war? And will she ever find reliable child care? Find out in this totally original, action-packed romp, sure to be another escapist thrill for Jasper Fforde's legions of fans.

  • Sci-fi, Mystery, Historical! What is it?

    Tim L. - 5 years ago

    This is book 4 of the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde. We find our heroine living in a world where books come alive and feeling unsatisfied with her life as it is. There are elements of time travel as well as references made to historical fiction characters (all cleverly written). The story line progresses quickly enough to keep you entertained and yet slow enough to keep you intrigued. There is a guest appearance by Hamlet, Dodos and a baby that speaks in a type of quick handwriting that comes out as gibberish. The author puts so much thought into every aspect of his stories and in my opinion is not matched by his creativity. You should start with the first in the series, The Eyre Affair, then proceed in order from there. I hope you enjoy this series as much as I have.
