About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

The Eyre Affair (Thursday Next, #1) The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was the first book of the speculative fiction genre I have read. I found some of the information about the alternate world a bit jarring in places because my thought of "I don't remember it that way" took me out of the story rather than hooking me deeper into the world-building the author was doing.
The author created likeable characters and a truly-dastardly villian to keep you entertained. I'm willing to recommend it to acquaintances who have not tried reading this genre before because the telling of the narrative encourages your curiosity.
