Medlemsanbefalinger

  1. Dr.Science anbefaler Who's Afraid of Beowulf? af Tom Holt, "The English author Tom Holt is relatively unknown in America, but very popular in England. If you enjoy Jasper Fforde or Christopher Moore you will most (se flere) certainly enjoy Tom Holt's wry sense of English humor and the absurd. He has written a number of excellent books but they will be difficult to find at your library."

  3. jonathankws anbefaler Never the Bride af Paul Magrs
  4. ShelfMonkey anbefaler The City of Dreaming Books af Walter Moers
  5. suslyn anbefaler Heathcliff: The Return to Wuthering Heights af Lin Haire-Sargeant, "Weaving the stories of Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and the lives of the Bronte sisters, Haire-Sargeant creates a natural 'sequel' to these classics."

  7. inge87 anbefaler En kongelig læser af Alan Bennett
  8. norabelle414 anbefaler Den trettende fortælling af Diane Setterfield
  9. Kerian anbefaler Jane Eyre af Charlotte Brontë, "If for some reason you read The Eyre Affair without having read Jane Eyre, I definitely recommend it. It will certainly be interesting to (se flere) read and is a very good book."

In an alternate version of England where dodos are no longer extinct and Neanderthals have been brought back to life, Thursday Next works for a literary detective agency, breaking up forgery rings and protecting original copies of literary works. When the original copy of Jane Eyre disappears from a secure glass case in the Bronte family home with no trace of tampering, Thursday is brought in to track it down. What follows is a string of events that get progressively weirder as she learns a former professor has gone bad and is killing off fictional characters to ruin great works, and the only way to stop him is to jump into the books herself.

This is a British literary geek's dream. The humor builds as things get more and more ridiculous. Thursday Next is a strong and smart protagonist in an insane world. The way Fforde twists classic literary narratives to suit his story (only to twist them back in the end) is ingenious and allows for clever plot twists. Literary characters are real living people... except now quite. I love this book and every time I read it, I'm immersed all over again. ( )

What a fun little book! I was not sure how much I would like this story since I have not read Jane Eyre, but I loved it (and now I have to read Jane Eyre). The protagonist was smart and the story was imaginative and quick moving. It had everything that I could want; love, books becoming real, and a bit of whimsy. Will definitely check out more books in the Thursday Next series.

Who can resist a smile when there is a character named Jack Sh*t. Although technically it is Jack Schitt...more What a fun little book!

Thursday Next, Literature Detective, is a combination of Hermione Granger, Bridget Jones, and V.I. Warshawski -- hard to imagine, but there it is.Some of the plot points are a little thin, but it's a quick and enjoyable read. ( )

Jasper Fforde has the most amazing imagination. I think that this book is a little hard to get into, but when you go on to his other books, they are just wonderful. And you have to read this one to set the scene. I highly recommend it. ( )

Once I got used to the alternate reality i started to enjoy this book. I like the literary references and it took me a while to figure out that the Jane Eyre ending was wrong! ( )

The Eyre Affair

Bogbeskrivelse

Amazon.com (ISBN 0142001805, Paperback)

Penzler Pick, January 2002: When I first heard the premise of this unique mystery, I doubted that a first-time author could pull off a complicated caper involving so many assumptions, not the least of which is a complete suspension of disbelief. Jasper Fforde is not only up to the task, he exceeds all expectations.

Imagine this. Great Britain in 1985 is close to being a police state. The Crimean War has dragged on for more than 130 years and Wales is self-governing. The only recognizable thing about this England is her citizens' enduring love of literature. And the Third Most Wanted criminal, Acheron Hades, is stealing characters from England's cherished literary heritage and holding them for ransom.

Bibliophiles will be enchanted, but not surprised, to learn that stealing a character from a book only changes that one book, but Hades has escalated his thievery. He has begun attacking the original manuscripts, thus changing all copies in print and enraging the reading public. That's why Special Operations Network has a Literary Division, and it is why one of its operatives, Thursday Next, is on the case.

Thursday is utterly delightful. She is vulnerable, smart, and, above all, literate. She has been trying to trace Hades ever since he stole Mr. Quaverley from the original manuscript of Martin Chuzzlewit and killed him. You will only remember Mr. Quaverley if you read Martin Chuzzlewit prior to 1985. But now Hades has set his sights on one of the plums of literature, Jane Eyre, and he must be stopped.

How Thursday achieves this and manages to preserve one of the great books of the Western canon makes for delightfully hilarious reading. You do not have to be an English major to be pulled into this story. You'll be rooting for Thursday, Jane, Mr. Rochester--and a familiar ending. --Otto Penzler
