... I can honestly say I did not see that ending coming.
The end pulled this together for me. To be honest, it was slightly too long and it got bogged down in the middle. I got a bit bored and this was my second or third attempt at this book. The Thursday Next books are definitely stronger and I enjoyed them more, but I'd pick up the next one in this series.
Absolutely bloody fantastic. Best thing I've read this year.
Fun, easy read. A parody on cozy mysteries, this one has a bunch of fairytale/nursery rhyme references. Who would have guessed with that series' title?
Overall a solid whodunnit with funny characters.
Very surreal but also funny
