If you like Jasper Fforde's style then you'll probably dig the book. I think most folks are disappointed that this book isn't about Thursday Next (because one of the Thursdays is missing, natch). Overall, though, it measures up to the writing and tone as the rest of the series.
Personally, I've enjoyed the Thursday Next books, but I'm more looking forward to the sequel to Shades of Grey.

In my opinion Japer Fforde comes second only to Vonnegut for sheer comedy. The "Evade the Question Time" bit from Something Rotten is one of the funniest things I have ever read.
Having only recently discovered Fforde, I have not yet had the chance to read Shades of Grey, but it is definitley high on my summer reading list. I just finished The Big Over Easy, so The Fourth Bear is next in line.
Has anyone read the latest in Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series? I am a huge fan of the first five books, but this new one seems to be getting mixed reviews. Is it worth buying?
