I loved the Eyre Affair and couldn't get two chapters into the second book in the Thursday Next series. This is the third book in the series and it landed somewhere in between. The literary references are broader than in the Eyre Affair, the jokes are still funny, and there was enough suspense and action to keep me interested. Romance was nonexistent, if that's a factor for you.

These books are so off the wall and original that I can't even begin to describe the background and plot, but in general it will appeal to anyone with a sense of humor and a literary background. Overall if you liked Eyre Affair, I think you could skip the second book and enjoy this one with no problems.
