Wonderful writer with a bit of sci-fi and romance and mystery all wrapped into one. When I first read this book a few years ago, I had no idea who Charlotte Bronte was or anything really about Jane Eyre. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the story and was able to piece together the details of that book as well.
The focus on all things literal, the intros to each chapter (with scraps of info from other books, diaries and manuals from the Thursday Next world), the time jumps back and forth - all make this a super fun read.
Thursday Next is a fun, smart and courageous character whose family and world is full of wonderful characters. I HIGHLY recommend this series.
