The Eyre Affair - Jasper Fforde

Post by book_reader »

Jasper Fforde’s ‘The Eyre Affair’, as the name suggests, has the book Jane Eyre at its center.

Thursday Next is a literary detective who handles security of original manuscripts, piracy and other crimes related to the literary world. Acheron Hades is set out to destroy an original manuscript, or worse, alter it by kidnapping the main character and it is up to Thursday Next and her team to stop him.

Fforde’s book is science fiction and humor brought together. If you enjoy light, humor reading and do not mind a bit of science fiction, then do pick up this book.

A detailed review is here.

I think this first in the series book by Fforde was the best - it deals with Thursday Next dealing with the characters of Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books, and I found it fun, imaginative and was eager to read the next in the series - the others in the sereis, although quite wonderfully wry haven't to me, been on the same par as the first book.
