|
Genre:
|
Alternative Reality/Crime
|
Synopsis:
|
Years have passed, SpecOps has been disbanded, Thursday is
still trying to save the world and wrangle a family and things just keep
getting weirder.
|
Verdict:
|
The series continues to be excellent, Fforde is daring
enough to take big steps and it pays off. Whenever a series takes a jump of
years in a character’s life it can either be a rich source of extra material
or a bit disorientating; it definitely worked for this series.

#151. Something Rotten by Jasper Fforde
Title:
|
Something Rotten
|
Author:

Jasper Fforde
|
Genre:
|
Alternate Reality/Crime
|
Synopsis:
|
After all her time in Bookworld, Thursday finally returns
to reality in order to raise her son and save her husband. Once again it is
time to match wits with the sinister Goliath Corporation, while juggling
family and fictional responsibilities and all the chaos the real world
brings.
|
Verdict:
|
Still just as nuts and now it feels like it might have a
hidden greater story arc underneath. The wordplay and fun with names
continues to amuse me because I’m a big nerd.
