Supposed to be hilarious, but after 165 pages I hadn't even smiled, so I guess I just don't get it. Recommended by at least one reader for those who like "humor, mysteries, sci-fi, fantasy, literature & language" -- all of which I like, but it didn't seem to help. ( ) This book was downright insulting to one's intelligence. Amateurish, pretentious garbage -- Fforde thinks highly of his own humor and the condescending tone of the heroine grates immediately. The plot is awful, the romance poorly wedged in, and every character is a cardboard cutout. The pity is, this book had potential and was squandered on literary tricks and cheap gimmicks. For shame, for shame! I've had this book on my ereader for ages. So many friends have recommended this series and while I've read other books by Fforde I hadn't gotten around to starting this series. Based on the recommendations from friends I was pretty sure I'd love it and I was right. It's different, it's funny, it's imaginative, it's a little weird but in a great way and I'm looking forward to continuing with the series. 1985 alternate history set in the UK. Things are very different. Pet dodos are common now that they've been regenerated (some versions are better than others). The Crimean War has still not ended and Wales is a socialist state. That's just the beginning Thursday Next works for the Special Operations branch of Literary Detectives (LiteraTecs) who deal with literary crime. This is definitely a series for book lovers. She's on the trail of Archeron Hades a villainous mastermind who is stealing original literary manuscripts and altering them by entering the stories and removing characters. It's a whirlwind mix of science fiction, fantasy, and literary history and I loved it. Can't believe this is over twenty years old! Read it back when it first came out, still love it just as much. Have jumped straight into [b:Lost in a Good Book|18870927|Lost in a Good Book (Thursday Next, #2)|Jasper Fforde|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1384955005l/18870927._SY75_.jpg|1918119] and can't wait to re-read every last one of them.
Fforde wears the marks of his literary forebears proudly on his sleeve, from Lewis Carroll and Wodehouse to Douglas Adams and Monty Python, in both inventiveness and sense of fun. Fforde delivers almost every sentence with a sly wink, and he's got an easy way with wordplay, trivia and inside jokes. ''The Eyre Affair'' can be too clever by half, and fiction like this is certainly an acquired taste, but Fforde's verve is rarely less than infectious. A good editor might have trimmed away some of the annoying padding of this novel and helped the author to assimilate his heavy borrowings from other artists, but no matter: by the end of the novel, Mr. Fforde has, however belatedly, found his own exuberant voice. THE EYRE AFFAIR is mostly a collection of jokes, conceits and puzzles. It's smart, frisky and sheer catnip for former English majors....And some of the jokes are clever indeed. Dark, funny, complex, and inventive, THE EYRE AFFAIR is a breath of fresh air and easily one of the strongest debuts in years.

There is another 1985, somewhere in the could-have-been, where dodos are regenerated in home-cloning kits and everyone is disappointed by the ending of Jane Eyre. But in this world there are policemen who can travel across time, a Welsh republic - and a woman called Thursday Next. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
