'The eccentric epic - A read that'll leave you breathless'
Review
'Jasper Fforde's fascinating first novel reads like a Jules Verne story told by Lewis Carroll...Forget all the rules of time, space, and reality; just sit back and enjoy the adventure as Thursday, with the help of Jane Eyre's Mr Rochester, fights a desperate battle in which Jane herself is in jeopardy.' (Sunday Telegraph )
'What Fforde is pulling is a variation on the classic Monty Python gambit: the incongruous juxtaposition og low comedy and high erudition - this scam has not been pulled off with such off-hand finesse and manic verve since the Pythons shut up shop. 'The Eyre Affair' is a silly book for smart people: postmodernism played as raw, howling farce' (Independent )
'Dark, funny, complex and inventive, The Eyre Affair is a breath of fresh air, and is easily one of the strongest debuts in years.' (Locus )
‘The reader is catapulted in and out of truth and imagination on a hectic, humorous and neatly constructed chase that finishes by tying up every loose end in the most satisfying, novelistic way’ (The Times )
'It is always a privilege to watch the birth of a cult, and Hodder has just cut the umbilical cord. Always ridiculous, often hilarious ... blink and you miss a vital narrative leap. There are shades of Douglas Adams, Lewis Carroll, 'Clockwork Orange' and '1984'. And that's just for starters' (Time Out )
'A stroke of fantasy genius . . . unashamedly silly, but also marvellously intelligent. . . Hilarious . . . Fforde's love of the written word is infectious' (SFX )
'The eccentric epic - A read that'll leave you breathless' (Elle )
'Delightfully clever ... Filled with clever wordplay, literary allusion and bibliowit, THE EYRE AFFAIR combines elements of Monty Python, Harry Potter, Stephen Hawking and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But its quirky charm is all its own.' (Wall Street Journal )
'Ingenious - I'll watch Jasper Fforde nervously' (Terry Pratchett )
'Fforde's imagination knows no bounds in this amazing book.' (Newmarket Journal )
[She's] part Bridget Jones, part Nancy Drew and part Dirty Harry.' (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times. on Thursday Next )
'A decidedly quirky and strangely thought-provoking debut novel' (Scotland On Sunday )
