those naughty aristocrats!!! really funny alternative look at the monarchs of England! The dates don't coincide (it says printed in 1997 and I have 1994 as the year I read it) because this is a different revised edition than the one I have.
The book is based on one of the most notorious BBC writers of the late 19th/20th Century journalists, H.M. Stanley's excursion through the Congo was basically rerouted from this dude then induced with his own little spices regardless to the facts of UZI's, Aids, Mosquitos, Agro Tribes running buck wild in the Congo.. Straight Forward and a good Excursional Read...
Set in a world where fact and fiction overlap, and time travel is possible, Thursday Next takes on the fiendishly clever villain Hades in a race to save the beloved novel Jane Eyre from permanent damage. If you have a love of books and language, enjoy fantasy realms, and a good mystery, this book has it all! Definitely worth the time!
I probably would have enjoyed this book more if I hadn't gorged myself full on hardboiled fiction over the previous few years, which isn't to say that it isn't good. I don't find Chandler as gripping as Hammett, but hey, whaddyagonnado?
