Reviews
"Neatly delivers alternate history, Monty Pythonesque comedy skits, Grand Guignol supervillains, thwarted lovers, po-mo intertextuality, political commentary, time travel, vampires, absent-minded inventors, a hard-boiled narrator, and lots, lots more. . . . Suspend your disbelief, find a quiet corner and just surrender to the storytelling voice of the unstoppable, ever-resourceful Thursday Next." --The Washington Post "Fforde''s imaginative novel will satiate readers looking for a Harry Potter-esque tale. . . . The Eyre Affair ''s literary wonderland recalls Douglas Adams''s Hitchhikers series, the works of Lewis Carroll and Woody Allen''s The Kugelmass Episode." -- USA Today "[Thursday Next is] part Bridget Jones, part Nancy Drew, and part Dirty Harry." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Delightfully clever . . . Filled with clever wordplay, literary allusion and bibliowit, The Eyre Affair combines elements of Monty Python, Harry Potter, Stephen Hawking and Buffy the Vampire Slayer , but its quirky charm is all its own." -- The Wall Street Journal "Jasper Fforde''s first novel, The Eyre Affair , is a spirited sendup of genre fiction--it''s part hardboiled mystery, part time-machine caper--that features a sassy, well-read ''Special Operative in literary detection'' named Thursday Next, who will put you more in mind of Bridget Jones than Miss Marple. Fforde delivers almost every sentence with a sly wink, and he''s got an easy way with wordplay, trivia, and inside jokes. . . . Fforde''s verve is rarely less than infectious." -- The New York Times Book Review "Jasper Fforde''s genre-busting, whoppingly imaginative first novel, The Eyre Affair , is packed with literary allusions . . . .Thanks to Fforde''s terrific imagination, this definitely will not be the winter of our discontent." -- The Miami Herald "For sheer inventiveness his book is hard to beat. The Eyre Affair is an exuberant mélange of crime, comedy and alternative history." -- Houston Chronicle " The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde could hardly be more delightful. . . . It takes a bold adventurer to play fast and loose with literature, and that''s what we have in Thursday Next and Fforde." -- Newsday "[Fforde] delivers multiple plot twists, rampant literary references and streams of wild metafictional invention in a novel that places literature at the center of the pop-cultural universe. . . . It all adds up to a brainy, cheerfully twisted adventure." -- Time Out New York " A blend of suspense and silliness, two parts fantasy (think Alice in Wonderland meet Superman), two parts absurdity (anything by Carl Hiaasen) and one part mystery (Agatha Christie meets Sue Grafton)." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Her name is Next. Thursday Next. And her story is as amusing and intriguing as the summary of her story told within the pages of The Eyre Affair . Next is a literary detective in a world so enamored with the written world that Shakespeare''s Richard III is staged nightly as if it were The Rocky Horror Picture Show . . . . The novel''s writing flows and the imaginative twists and turns in Next''s world are handled smoothly." -- Sun-Sentinel ''Always ridiculous, often hilarious ... blink and you miss a vital narrative leap. There are shades of Douglas Adams, Lewis Carroll, ''Clockwork Orange'' and ''1984''. And that''s just for starters'' - Time Out London "What Fforde is pulling is a variation on the classic Monty Python gambit: the incongruous juxtaposition og low comedy and high erudition - this scam has not been pulled off with such off-hand finesse and manic verve since the Pythons shut up shop. ''The Eyre Affair'' is a silly book for smart people: postmodernism played as raw, howling farce" Independent (London), "[Thursday Next is] part Bridget Jones, part Nancy Drew, and part Dirty Harry." -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Neatly delivers alternate history, Monty Pythonesque comedy skits, Grand Guignol supervillains, thwarted lovers, po-mo intertextuality, political commentary, time travel, vampires, absent-minded inventors, a hard-boiled narrator, and lots, lots more....
