Book Review: The Eyre Affair by Fforde (3.5 Stars)
The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde
Read in May 2009
A wonderful thing happened on the way to The Eyre Affair; I read Jane Eyre. For that alone I will be eternally grateful.
Otherwise, it was an enjoyable but forgettable mystery set in a chaotic vortex of genres spanning paranormal, science fiction, alternate history, and time travel. At one point, it even reminded me of Butcher’s Dresden series.
The puns, literary references and alternate history gaffs intrigued me and sparked quick forays of research to confirm or deny my suspicions.
I have the sequel Lost in a Good Book waiting in the wings to see what happens Next.

Criminal changes should be filed against these bank executives. Do NOT let them get away with this. Send them away for a very long time. I’ll even roll out the red carpet for them on the steps of the U.S. Penitentiary near where l live.
