  This is the first book by Jasper Fford that I've ever read, although I've had many of his books on my "to read" list for a while. In any case, this is a very clever story.

  I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish!
  Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

  Very clever.

  Now this is fun. And it has suspence too. IMHO I liked it best than the Thursday Next ones.
