Mad Mum Alyson (United Kingdom) (2009/08/16):
Probably the funniest, most addictive but insane books I've ever read! I alternately laughed and insisted that my poor long-suffering hubbie had to listen to me reading bits out to him! This is too fantastic a book to keep hold of, someone else should have the chance to enjoy it :-)
Marianne (Australia) (2011/10/16):
The Eyre Affair is the first novel by Jasper Fforde, and the first in the Thursday Next series. Thursday Next is a SpecOps 27 operative, a LiteraTec, who deals in crimes against literature. The novel is set in 1985, when England has been at war with Russia over Crimea for some 130 years, time travel is not uncommon and Wales has seceded from UK and is a Republic. Fforde includes delightfully ridiculous names and the inventions of Thursday's uncle, Mycroft Next are quite wonderful. I am glad I made the effort to read Jane Eyre before reading this. Reading this novel was unadulterated pleasure and I look forward starting on the next in the series, Lost in a Good Book.
