    <body><![CDATA[Talk about tongue in cheek! I blazed through all four of the first Jasper Fforde stories about Thursday Next, his narrator/protagonist, but the first one--THE EYRE AFFAIR--remains my favorite. It takes place in alternative 1985, where literary detective Thursday Next pursues a master criminal throug...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40393262">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[OK—I really liked this series and was very disappointed when I finished the last book.  For anyone who enjoys books, Fforde is expert in creating a believable world within the world of books.  With that said, there are language issues in these books that have bothered me more than in other books.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read each of these, but I found this book that has them all in one.  Oh readers...you will LOVE all the literary references:  The Department of Jurisfiction.  Jasper Fforde is so creative and quirky.  I am on the fifth book now.<br/><br/>Again, a perfect book for you, Carla!!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great fun for anyone who has read a lot of the classics of British lit.  Fforde creates a world that loves its books and takes them very seriously.  Read the reviews on <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://Amazon.com">Amazon.com</a> for a better idea of what it's all about. Fun and entertaining but not at all mindless.  And I love the pet dodos!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's sugar for the book lover.  How exciting to read of a world where thousands of people, instead of naming their babies &quot;Brittney,&quot; are renaming themselves as Dryden or Milton or Shakespeare, and interfering with a book is terrorism that would send the community into a panic.  Pure sugar...]]></body>
