I am fast becoming a fan of Jasper Fforde's. The world that he imagines is just as crazy, vibrant and downright addictive. This time, the action is centered around Great Expectations, with some bonus scenes from Kafka's The Trial and Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Miss Havisham from Great Expectations seems like she would become a recurring character in future books, while the Red Queen and the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland also make appearances.
The humour in this book was on-point for me, the characters were full of life and jumped out of the pages (ironic considering this book is all about jumping into books). Reading more Jasper Fforde novels are fast becoming a priority in life.
