Jasper Fforde knows how to create an alternate universe and make it believable. His writing is immersion style. He just jumps right in with the story, and expects the reader to go along for the ride in this new universe. He doesnt make long explanations cause, it is what it is, and it is normal way of this universe, so why explain? You catch on rather quickly to the ways of this alternate universe. He did the same thing in Shades of Grey [The Road to High Saffron, Bk 1] BTW a sequel to this book comes out i 2013
The other great thing is this alternate universe is steeped in Literature. And who wouldnt want to be able to magically step inside a poem, or the book Jane Eyre? So readers like us will enjoy the book theme.
You do not have to have read pieces of great literature to follow what is happening in the story.
