The Eyre Affair

The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
Jasper Fforde's alternate universe includes a never ending Crimean war, a performance where Richard III sounds much like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and SpecOps has a division for literary fraud, vampire eradication and the ChronoSquad (time anomalies).

Imagine being trapped in a novel or poem - how would this change the work of literature.

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
Interesting read. Gave me a new perspective on the cultural revolution, Balzac and Dumas. A woman's beauty is a valuable commodity.
