I have no idea how to properly talk about this one.

It sure is a Jasper Fforde-book.
Okay. It is set in an alternative (and somewhat phantastical) Britain, and it follows the Literary Detective Thursday Next on her quest to secure both the Prose Portal, an invention that lets people enter books and other works of literature, and the original manuscript of Jane Eyre, which is in danger of being changed, and with it all subsequent prints, due to meddling by one Archeron Hades, the books antagonist. This sentence does not do any justice to what’s going on in this book.

One day I’d like to spend a day in Fforde’s brain, just to see how it looks in there, given the absolute phantastical stuff he puts to paper.
