Wow, that was quick. Almost 400 pages, snap, done.Even though it's fifth book in a cycle, it's still as good as the first one. Mind you, I'm far from saying that it was the most awesome book ever, but it was a very light and cheerful story to consume. Quite a banal plot, but it's not the plot that's captivating in Thursday Next's world - it's the absurd and twisted layers of both realities that makes you laugh your sides off. I was a bit afraid, that the decline in quality is inevitable in cycles - I'm very happy that Jasper Fforde proved me wrong. The usual peril threatening the world, Thursday Next standing firm with her morals and solving a plethora of problems with one hand, plus obligatory stack of nonsensical and funny events. Terry Pratchett should really learn from this :)On the other hand, this book could have used some more death and gratuitous sex :D
