I started this series sometime late last year and can't believe I waited so long to pick it back up. I really enjoyed the first one, but this was an amazing ride!!!

In the first book we meet Thursday Next who is SpecOps in charge of protecting the literary world. Enter the villian who is stealing and changing books. It's up to Thursday and her partner Bowden to hunt down and right the literary world. She ends up inside the story of Jane Eyre, saves the day and changes the ending for the better.(There is so much more to it than this brief note).

NOW in this, the 2nd book, she finds herself in the limelight due to her escapades in Jane Eyre. During her many PR appointments and TV appearances it seems someone wishes her harm, her father informs her the end of the world is coming and her home life is put in jeopardy. (Again, so much more to it than this note).

This is one extremely wild and awesome book. Filled with sci-fi, time travel, jumping into books and interacting with characters such as Mrs. Havisham of Great Expectations and the Cheshire Cat. A world where fictionary characters can jump into the real world and wreak havoc while real persons can change and wreak havoc on the books themselves. I am definitely not waiting to finish this series out.
