Book Reviews of The Well of Lost Plots: A Thursday Next Novel
Book Review: Way to Funny and Involved to do a Precis for
Summary: 4 Stars
Like all of Fforde's books, this one doesn't present itself well for and easy summary. In fact because the plot is not really a plot but more like a 'stream of unconsciousness' or a Marx Brothers movie, it's best to just flow along and not worry about a 'plot' as such.
This is 'situational' writing. Fforde puts Thursday in a situation, and then spends the rest of the book, getting her out of all kinds of plots that do or do not have anything to do with the situation. In this book Thursday, who is pregnant (by her non-existent husband, Landon), goes to hide in the book world from her antagonist Hades sister, who is trying to wipe out Thursday's memory. Got that?
A good part of the book is used to set-up his second series 'nursery crime division' which she does as, uh... read the book. Just let me say that it's all verbal fun and verbage.
