Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde
Jasper Fforde's hit follow-up to THE EYRE AFFAIR, now available in stunning new jacket style.
Don't ask, just read itFforde is a true original * Sunday Express *
Let yourself be entertained by a witty romp * Sunday Telegraph *
This year's grown up J K Rowling * Sunday Times *
Douglas Adams would be proud * Scotsman *
The reader is catapulted in and out of truth and imagination on a hectic, humorous and neatly constructed chase that finishes by tying up every loose end in the most satisfying, novelistic way * The Times *
Jasper Fforde's fascinating first novel reads like a Jules Verne story told by Lewis Carroll...Forget all the rules of time, space, and reality; just sit back and enjoy the adventure as Thursday, with the help of Jane Eyre's Mr Rochester, fights a desperate battle in which Jane herself is in jeopardy. * Sunday Telegraph *
Ingenious - I'll watch Jasper Fforde nervously * Terry Pratchett *
A stroke of fantasy genius . . . Unashamedly silly, but also marvellously intelligent . . . Hilarious * SFX *
An absolute joy to read. Is it a crime novel? I couldn't really tell, I was laughing too much. * Birmingham Post *
What Fforde is pulling is a variation on the classic Monty Python gambit: the incongruous juxtaposition og low comedy and high erudition - this scam has not been pulled off with such off-hand finesse and manic verve since the Pythons shut up shop. 'The Eyre Affair' is a silly book for smart people: postmodernism played as raw, howling farce * Independent *
Compulsively readable ... catnip to book lovers ... totally absorbing * Time Out New York *
It is always a privilege to watch the birth of a cult, and Hodder has just cut the umbilical cord. Always ridiculous, often hilarious ... blink and you miss a vital narrative leap. There are shades of Douglas Adams, Lewis Carroll, 'Clockwork Orange' and '1984'. And that's just for starters * Time Out *
Dark, funny, complex and inventive, The Eyre Affair is a breath of fresh air, and is easily one of the strongest debuts in years. * Locus *
A decidedly quirky and strangely thought-provoking debut novel * Scotland on Sunday *
The eccentric epic - A read that'll leave you breathless * Elle *
Engaging and captivating . . . not just one of the best sequels I've ever read, but one of the best damn books to come out of the UK in some time. * Engima *
