First Among Sequels


Cover image for Thursday Next in first among sequels : a novel / Jasper Fforde.Thursday Next in theFirst Among Sequels by Jasper Fforde, 363 pages

This is the fifth book in the Thursday Next series. This book is mainly based in the fictional world as Thursday meets her written forms. With the adding of two more Thursdays comes more mayhem and silliness that is becoming the standard for Fforde. Since Thursday is training one of the written Thursdays we get to see more of the book world and the behind the scenes. We also learn more about the ruling structure of bookworld and how the genres fit together.

While this book is still humorous to read, I did not find it as good as some of his previous books. It almost comes across as being forced to be silly.
