Classic Science Fiction Novels, March 2012

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. A parallel universe, England, 1985. Thursday Next is a Literary Detective. She handles literary crime. In this world, a device has been made which allows a sinister villain to enter a book and change the story, thus changing the books on the shelves. More dastardly, he has entered into Jane Eyre...and kidnapped her. Thursday must enter the novel and stop her foe while also setting things right and restoring the text. Jasper Fforde is a marvel at taking an extraordinary amount of literary references and combining them all together in such a way that instead of confusion you end up with one of the funnest, most hilarious, and exciting novels you will pick up. This is the first in a series of novels.
