Lost in a Good Book

Thursday Next in Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde, 399 pages

This is the second book in the Thursday Next series. If you can take everything I said about the first book and then add dialogue taking place through footnotes, lots of time travel, the Cheshire Cat, famous literary characters, and lots of coincidences and you would get this book.

I absolutely loved reading it and though Thursday is the star of the book I love the appearance of the Cheshire Cat. I always was a fan of his double speaking and sarcastic attitude and it really shows up here. The story is getting more convoluted as it goes but also brings about enough silliness to make you not care.

Since this series is getting better as it goes, I look forward to reading the rest of the series. Though if it keeps going at its current pace, its going to be nothing but puns by the final book!
