From the Publisher:
I'm not going to go on and on about this book, other than I love it! It's witty, plot driven, with great characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a little crazy fiction mixed in to their normal reading life. It's kind of fantasy, but not too fantasy, and it's pretty easy to swallow. Seriously. Go out and buy this book, you will love it.
How can you not love a book with characters named things like Braxton Hicks?
Great for everyone over the age of 14 (mild violence, sexual overtures).
From the Publisher:
In Jasper Fforde's Great Britain, circa 1985, time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wordsworth poem and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, renowned Special Operative in literary detection. But when someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature and plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of Brontk's novel, Thursday is faced with the challenge of her career. Fforde's ingenious fantasy-enhanced by a Web site that re-creates the world of the novel--unites intrigue with English literature in a delightfully witty mix.
