One of my favorite series! If you like to get lost in a good book, this is for you! "Part Bridget Jones, part Nancy Drew, and part Dirty Harry" - Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Penguin Books, 2003, paperback. The first book in the incredibly imaginative Thursday Next series. Travel through books with Thursday as she chases criminals who seek to mess with the plot, or take over the world, as the case may be. Just so she gets home in time to feed her pet dodo. Like new, minor shelf wear. Five stars.
