I was just thinking while I was reading the description that this was going to probably either be really good or really bad.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462687717661471758.post-28046390870635524542010-03-02T12:56:02.214-06:002010-03-02T12:56:02.214-06:00Gofita - You should!

I think this is what will put me over the edge into purchasing it. I fell in love with Fforde's writing in The Eyre Affair, for the exact same reasons you describe. I love that he shows rather than tells. It makes the re-reading process that much more rich when you can go back at catch things you didn't see the first time!<br /><br />When I read it, I'll let you know!Becky Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235590490269178379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462687717661471758.post-3112252537893196132010-02-26T07:22:14.083-06:002010-02-26T07:22:14.083-06:00Like I said on twitter yesterday, i read about 40 ...Like I said on twitter yesterday, i read about 40 pages of this before taking it back to the library. I thought they were excellently written. I loved the world-building and i love Fforde's no-nonsense way of immersing the reader in it. The characters already know what's going on - they don't have to explain it. It's up to the reader ot figure things out. But as I said, I've just been too stressed the last 4 months or so to read dystopia. I can only handle mild, mild dystopia (like Galapagos which I'm slowly reading now). I do hope to pick this up again in a few months and finish it!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.com
