Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Jasper Fforde returns to BookWorld in this New York Times bestselling installment of his Thursday Next series Jasper Fforde has thrilled readers everywhere with his gloriously outlandish novels in the Thursday Next and Nursery Crime series. Now, after a two-year hiatus, the demand for Thursday Next has more than tripled. And with Thursday Next: First Among Sequels, Fforde's famous literary detective is once again ready to make the world safe for fiction. Thursday Next is grappling with a host of problems in BookWorld: a recalcitrant new apprentice, the death of Sherlock Holmes, and the inexplicable departure of comedy from the once-hilarious Thomas Hardy novels, to name just a fewall while captaining the ship Moral Dilemma and facing down her most vicious enemy yet: herself. Review:" Playful . . . It's not hard to see what this enthusiasm is about. . . . It's easy to be delighted by a writer who loves books so madly." Janet Maslin, The New York Times " What keeps this series humming is Fforde's lively engagement with books and the indefatigable woman he's created to defend them." John Freeman, People "Richly crammed with jokes, ideas, and action. Brainier silliness is hard to find." USA Today " The BookWorld seems to have encouraged Fforde's rogue imagination to escape all fetters and really go wild." Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Synopsis:Literary sleuth Thursday Next is once again out to make the world safe for fiction in the fifth installment of Fforde's wildly popular series. Packed with word play, bizarre and entertaining subplots, and old-fashioned suspense, Thursday's newest adventure will be celebrated by fans and critics alike.
