Lost In A Good Book
Written in 2011 and kept as it was, so some of it will have aged.
Fforde goes further into narrative deconstruction than he did with The Eyre Affair, using books themselves as a device for exploring new worlds and new locations. Famous characters from every genre and period fly past in a literary whirlwind as he once again demonstrates his passion for the written word. The repeated reliance on coincidence is a little unsatisfying (even if it is very knowing and self-referential) and Thursday’s nemesis isn’t developed enough to be sufficiently scary, but this is still a great read.
