You know, I LOVE the Thursday Next series -- those books are brilliant and hilarious. I am STRUGGLING to get through The Big Over Easy. The characters aren't as well defined, the humor's not as sharp, and the world not as consistent. I'm not saying Fforde should ONLY do TN books, but this was an earlier book and it definitely shows. I think he can do better.
If you want to try something in a similar vein to TN, try reading The Coyote Kings and the Space Age Bachelor Pad by Minister Faust. It's CRAZY, but REALLY good!

A NEW Jasper Fforde book in the EXCELLENT Jack Spratt Series!
The 4th Bear.
Much more intricate, interesting, entertaining and all around- BETTER than The Big Over Easy.
Unfortunatly, the book says we'll have to wait till Summer of 07 for the next Thursday Next book.... *sigh*

I started reading The Eyre Affair a few months back and got bored by it (granted, I only got 3 chapters in).
