The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
I’ve had this book for about 18 months - it was a thankyou gift from a friend who stayed with us for a while. I can’t believe I never read it until now!
It was very fun, very lit-geek. I loved the way the characters were named, although I’m sure I missed a lot of the more subtle connections. I ended up so entranced that I read the whole thing - beginning to end in a day.

I loved loved LOVED this book! It spoke to my inner Literary Geek (who shares space with my inner Yarn Geek). I recommend the sequels as well. Each book builds on the previous, so it pays to read them in order.
