First Among Sequels by Jasper FfordeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Recommended by Rhon
I wasn't sure at first when I picked up the book and discovered that there was a 14 year time lapse between books. A few chapters in I discovered the brilliance of the plot and was sucked in. There were drastic changes made in Thursday's world and I liked them. The character that I enjoyed in the first book - and felt was missing in some of the other books - was back. As always, Fforde did a brilliant job with word play, humor and plot twist.
