I can never quite explain Jasper Fforde books to other people; unless they've read The Eyre Affair, it is hard to fully grasp the Ffordian universe. And because I love Thursday Next and her world, I was skeptical that I would enjoy a sequel that featured a different main character and a different manifestation of that world. But I shouldn't have doubted. The remaking of the Book World allowed for new adventures that wouldn't have worked in the Great Library, and this self-doubting version of Thursday was a relatable character whom I enjoyed in different ways. Another gem.
On my second read of “One of our Thursdays is Missing”, the meandering of the plot became even more disorienting. There were offshoots of the plot that made this chapter aa little convoluted. Maybe that was the intention...?
