Editorial Reviews

Review
The reader is catapulted in and out of truth and imagination on a hectic, humorous and neatly constructed chase that finishes by tying up every loose end in the most satisfying, novelistic way.' - The Times on LOST IN A GOOD BOOK 'Jasper Fforde has gone where no other fictioneer has gone before. Millions of readers now follow...Thank you, Jasper' - John Sutherland, Guardian 'Don't ask, just read it. Fforde is a true original' - Sunday Express '[Fforde's] brand of inspired lunacy truly stands in its own...this new book completes his creation of a world of true literary comic genius' - Sunday Express on THE WELL OF LOST PLOTS It is always a privilege to watch the birth of a cult, and Hodder has just cut the umbilical cord - Time Out on THE EYRE AFFAIR 'Fforde's imagination is a literary volcano in full spate' - Independent on SOMETHING ROTTEN

Sheer brilliance5
These books are absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!! Love them to pieces, Jasper Fforde is a total genius. Really bizarre concept, but so well written, and completely rounded (love the adverts at the end for Goliath etc, really completes the whole picture). I can't get enough of them. Fie stars does not do them justice.
