Critics Review
Once you read one - you’ll be hooked. - David Baldacci
Fforde’s books are more than just an ingenious idea. They are written with buoyant zest and are tautly plotted. They have empathetic heroes and heroines who nearly make terrible mistakes and suitably dastardly villains who do. They also have more twists and turns than Christie, and are embellished with the rich details of Dickens or Pratchett - IndependentA riot of puns, in-jokes and literary allusions that Fforde carries off with aplomb - Daily MailFforde is a master entertainer, and a wordsmith of dexterous genius. - ScotsmanFans of the late Douglas Adams, or, even, Monty Python, will feel at home with Fforde - HeraldAbout The Author
