(Note: I wrote this a long long long time ago and just noticed that my blogger dashboard thingy says it's unpublished. So boom. Published.)
WHEN WILL I LEARN??? I finished this days ago and already lent the book out AND NOW I REMEMBER NOTHING.
Ummm.
Here is a better synopsis than I care to write: Tada!
Something that bothers me: in the first book, they act as if jumping into books is this novel thing that no one knows about. When she goes into Jane Eyre, no one there mentions Jurisfiction, the Great Library, or the Character Exchange Program. When she's in that world it's just like ours, basically. Fforde treats it like going back in time, sort of. But now in this book characters jump from book to book, they communicate through footnotes, they make small alterations to stories as needed, and it's like between books Fforde had this idea of a world behind the pages and decided to write it out even though it doesn't really make sense when compared to the first one. It's a wonderful premise, but it doesn't fit!
That's my only problem.
