Something Rotten

by Jasper Fforde

Something Rotten Cover

 

Staff Pick

Thursday Next is back and this time she's gone transcontinental! Something Rotten, the fourth book in the series, continues to follow the Goliath Corporation and contains Fforde's usual time-/book-jumping that he so expertly interweaves — the story starts out in an American pulp western and runs from there. Also returning is the ever amusing but painfully indecisive Hamlet, living in Swindon with Thursday's mom, Wednesday. This no-holds-barred segment of the life of Thursday Next is Fforde's best since The Eyre Affair. Read it before you become un-actualized.

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Thursday Next, Head of JurisFiction and ex-SpecOps agent, returns to her native Swindon accompanied by a child of two, a pair of dodos and Hamlet, who is on a fact-finding mission in the real world. Thursday has been despatched to capture escaped Fictioneer Yorrick Kaine but even so, now seems as good a time as any to retrieve her husband Landen from his state of eradication at the hands of the Chronoguard.

It`s not going to be easy. Thursday`s former colleagues at the department of Literary Detectives want her to investigate a spate of cloned Shakespeares, the Goliath Corporation are planning to switch to a new Faith based corporate management system and the Neanderthals feel she might be the Chosen One who will lead them to genetic self-determination.

About the Author
