'Fans of the late Douglas Adams, or, even, Monty Python, will feel at home with Fforde' - Herald
The BookWorld's leading enforcement officer Thursday Next is four months into an enforced semi-retirement following an assassination attempt. She returns home to Swindon for what you'd expect to be a time of recuperation. If only life were that simple.
Thursday is faced with an array of family problems - son Friday's lack of focus since his career in the Chronoguard was relegated to a might-have-been, daughter Tuesday's difficulty perfecting the Anti-Smote shield needed to thwart an angry Deity's promise to wipe Swindon off the face of the earth, and Jenny, who doesn't exist. And that's not all.
With Goliath attempting to replace Thursday at every opportunity with synthetic Thursdays, the prediction that Friday's Destiny-Aware colleagues will die in mysterious circumstances, and a looming meteorite that could destroy all human life on earth, Thursday's retirement is going to be anything but easy . . .

Von Band 2, 3 und 4 war ich etwas enttäuscht. Band 5 und 6 waren wieder etwas besser, aber Band 7 hat mich jetzt endlich wieder total begeistert, obwohl ich auch hier viel vermisst habe (Orte und Charaktere). Aber Fforde probiert halt gerne mal Neues aus. Die Dinge, die aber da waren, allen voran eine deutlich gealterte, klapprigere aber dafür irgendwie weisere Thursday, haben ausgereicht, dass ich jetzt direkt gern weiterlesen würde. Aber vermutlich lässt Jasper Fforde sich leider wieder einige Jahre Zeit.
