The Well of Lost Plots

Each book in the Thursday Next series is as good as the rest. (I won't say better, just because I like them all so much, I couldn't pick a favorite.) What I find so amazing is that Jasper Fforde has created an entire world (two worlds really) and somehow everything makes sense. The explanation of the ImaginoTransferenceDevice seems entirely logical. And as a book and word nerd, I love all the little references that explain why Americans spell honor while the British spell honour, or how Uriah Hope became Uriah Heep. I can't get enough of these books.

This was great. the series is still going strong. I think I enjoyed this more than the previous book.

I find Thursday's defeat of Aornis rather feeble and unconvincing; we don't find out what the monster was or why it should attack Aornis and let Thursday go free.

The book remains inventive and readable enough, but it seems to be marking time between the previous book and the next.

I seriously just LOVE these books! I really liked the change of scenery for this one, these books are without a doubt one of the best series I have ever read. I can't wait to read the last two in this series and the two in Jasper FForde's Nursery series!! Just another cracking read....

Book 3 of the Thursday Next Series was absolutely amazing. In this one we go behind the cover and pages of a book and travel INSIDE where the characters, plots, readership, and all things book-related are governed by Jurisfiction agents governed by the Council of Genres.

In the last book there was a major event that made Thursday Next go into the Character Exchange Program and she is now hiding out in the Well of Lost Plots where books are unpublished or awaiting creation. While there agents seem to be disappearing and dying. It is up to her to find out who the culprit is and save the Book World.

I think this is my favourite Thursday Next book so far! Going into the BookWorld was so much fun. Chock full of literary references and characters as well as commentary on the world of books, fiction and character characterization, the whole story was just an amazing imagination-infused ride through a world like no other. I can't even begin to explain the plot, so I won't even try, but I will say that it is very bizarre and yet wonderful story. I love Thursday as a character, her kindness, resourcefulness and wit is a breath of fresh air for female protagonists. Despite the odds against her she continues to move forward, but doesn't ignore the troubles of those around her in her pursuit to make things right in her own life - truly inspirational. I love so much about this series that I can't tell it all here, all I can say is that you should read it and find out for yourself just how awesome it is.
