Can Thursday find a Shakespeare clone to stop this hostile takeover? Can she vanquish Kaine and prevent the world from plunging into war? And will she ever find reliable child care? Find out in this totally original, action-packed romp, sure to be another escapist thrill for Jasper Fforde's legions of fans. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"It's easy to be delighted by a writer who loves books so madly." <br><i>--<b>The New York Times<br></b></i><br> "Impressive, and arguably Fforde's best work to date. It is a compliment to the author's skill and creativity that his humor remains fresh and his central character gains depth." <br><i>--<b>The Denver Post<br></b></i><br> "More than a little wacky, the novel is packed with screwball details as characters get 'written' in and out of the story, hybridized creatures stalk malls and Shakespeare clones start popping up everywhere. With humorous illustrations and curious footnotes sprinkled throughout, Fforde's latest will have hardcore fans roaring."<br><b><i>--Publishers Weekly<br></i></b><br> "Prepare to be delighted<b><i>." <br></i></b>--<b><i>Time<br></i></b><br> "Enough furious daft invention to sate [Fforde's] cult fan base." <br>--<b><i>Entertainment Weekly</i></b></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jasper Fforde traded a varied career in the film industry for staring vacantly out of the window and arranging words on a page.
