Thusday Next has angered the wrong people.  The Goliath Corporation can see a great deal of porfit from her ability to jump into and out of books. They don’t care that she used a prose portal  that no longer exists. They’re going to do what ever it takes, change her past and present, to make her do they’re literary skullduggery.

       In this second “Thursday Next” Story, her world is more complex, the literary refrences faster and the challenges greater. She has to learn to jump into and out of books at will, save her own past, divert the end of the world, and face a menisis she can’t even remember. There’s more action, more charaters, real and fictional (not a whole lot of difference here), more problems then the first book. Its nice to have a series where one book is better than the last.

        One word of caution. Mr. Fforde knows this is the first of several books and many of the plot problems are not tidied up. If you are the kind of person that needs to know what happened, and can’t wait for the next chapter, youbetter have the next book on hand. Really not a bad situation at all for readers like us.
