About this ebook

he second book in Number One bestselling author Jasper Fforde's phenomenally successful Thursday Next series.

'Fans of the late Douglas Adams, or, even, Monty Python, will feel at home with Fforde' - Herald

Thursday Next, literary detective and newlywed is back to embark on an adventure that begins, quite literally on her own doorstep. It seems that Landen, her husband of four weeks, actually drowned in an accident when he was two years old. Someone, somewhere, sometime, is responsible. The sinister Goliath Corporation wants its operative Jack Schitt out of the poem in which Thursday trapped him, and it will do almost anything to achieve this - but bribing the ChronoGuard? Is that possible?

Having barely caught her breath after The Eyre Affair, Thursday must battle corrupt politicians, try to save the world from extinction, and help the Neanderthals to species self-determination. Mastadon migrations, journeys into Just William, a chance meeting with the Flopsy Bunnies, and violent life-and-death struggles in the summer sales are all part of a greater plan.

But whose? and why?

throughly enjoyable. with a suitably Sci fi ending. Reading Mr.Ffordes books is like going downhill in a vehicle without brakes. your reading speed gets faster and faster but you can't stop. 4th times I've read this book and I enjoy it everytime.

The second book in Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series is a neat little sequel, and develops the TN universe further. A good plot, admittedly a little convoluted sometimes (but I put that down to my wee brain than anything else). Recommend to Pratchett and Adams fans, very similar in terms of humour and attention to detail. Also to those who like classic literature - I enjoyed the use of well known characters (Miss Havisham is particularly excellent!). Plus, I really want a Dodo.

This series is so clever. My biggest fear is that I will miss something through literary ignorance!
