Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“This is the proverbial madcap lighthearted romp, full of hijinks, parody, and puns. Jasper Fforde does it well. It’s safe to say that if you enjoy that particularly British, Douglas Adams-style absurd delivery of wry observations, you’ll get a kick out of this one.” —New York Journal of Books
“Big, big fun, with enough in-jokes to keep anyone snickering for a long time—especially English Lit geeks.” —Seattle Times
“As always, Fforde makes this wacky world perfectly plausible, elucidating Ffordian physics with just the right ratio of pseudoscientific jargon to punch lines. It’s a dazzling, heady brew of high concept and low humor, absurd antics with a tea-and-toast sensibility that will appeal to fans of Douglas Adams and P. G. Wodehouse alike.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Fforde continues to show that his forte is absurdist humor in his seventh crime thriller starring Thursday Next…[An] endearingly-bizarre fantasy world limited only by Fforde’s impressive imagination.” —Publishers Weekly
“Narrator Emily Gray is the ideal foil for Jasper Fforde’s quirky parody—her measured pacing and genteel British accent give a ‘straight man’ quality to her performance. Gray delivers Fforde’s fantasies with subdued hilarity…Thought-provoking, imaginative humor, and literary allusions abound.” —AudioFile
“Strap in and hang on tight…Another winner for fans and lovers of SF, time travel, puns, allusions, and all sorts of literary hijinks.” —Library Journal
