jonn reviewed Well of Lost Plots (Penguin Books) by Jasper Fforde (Thursday Next (3))
This will be a polarising book. I loved it so much as it opened up.
5 stars
The beginning is a bit of a strange stretch, but then Fforde creates another Adamsian epic full of astute observations, and nursery rhymers on strike.
The only thing he got really wrong is das kapital being antithetical to mein kampf.
With all disrespect to das kapital, mein kampf isn't even the same genre.
But underlying ideologies have the same implications as was proven by history.
No quote as I'm a bit too busy.
