COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Thursday Next submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 28, 2013, 4:23pm In this sixth book in Jasper Fforde's "Thursday Next" series our title character has gone missing. Thursday has become quite famous in her world for having saved her nation from evil villains many time, so a novelist wrote a fictionalized books series about her, which has become wildly popular. As a result, there is now a Book World version of Thursday (remember that our protagonist can travel between her world and the Book World in which fictional characters live). The Book World Policing Agency call in the fictional version of Thursday to fill in as a detective while her counterpart is missing.

Like many of the Thursday Next novels, this one has numerous references to literature, including Charles Dickens' novels. This is fun for those who majored in literature or English and like to feel good about their degrees.

The quality of the series deteriorates with each novel, yet I still enjoyed them and read the entire set.
