The Woman Who Died a Lot

Praise for Jasper Fforde * : * 'Reading a Fforde novel feels like taking off on a magic carpet, only to be picked up by another and another and taken on new flights of fantasy . . . When the plot is thundering along, peppered with jokes, lively dialogue and silly names . . . you just sit back and enjoy the ride.' * <i>Scotsman</i> * 'Jam packed with ingeniously witty ideas' * <i>SFX.co.uk</i> * A riot of puns, in-jokes and literary allusions that Fforde carries off with aplomb * <i>Daily Mail</i> * 'Fans of the late Douglas Adams, or, even, Monty Python, will feel at home with Fforde' * <i>Herald</i> * 'Forget all the rules of time, space and reality; just sit back and enjoy the adventure.' * <i>Sunday Telegraph</i> * 'Any worries that by now the Thursday Next series would have settled into a rut prove groundless here, as Jasper Fforde delivers another swerveball . . . It's the usual mix of fiendishly clever plotting and exquisitely executed comedy setpieces' **** * <i>SFX</i> * As always, Fforde delivers a winner - immensely entertaining and easy to read. The characters are well rounded, and the dialogue snappy, amusing and filled with the usual plays on words and general silliness . . . If you've not experienced Fforde's unique humour before, then check the Thursday Next series out. * <i>The British Fantasy Society</i> * This is truly wacky, laugh-out-loud, literary-laced stuff. He is very clever. * <i>The Bookseller</i> * I love Jasper Fforde's novels but have to admit that reviewing them is hard work - how to explain his complicated alternative universe without revealing too much of the plot and at the same time encouraging readers to plunge in and just enjoy the ride? All I can say is - I hope you enjoy this as much as I did and that it encourages you to read the others - you won't be disappointed * <i>Euro Crime</i> * Hugely funny and gloriously imaginative * <i>Daily Express</i> *
