Besides, I have had "The Eyre Affair" on my bookshelf LITERALLY since it was released and have STILL not read it yet... why, oh why?!?! But knowing that he's able to also write about dragons makes me even more eager to read *all* of his works :) I can't believe you got to meet him and even get a picture with him! That's so cool. Anyway this book sounds really great, I love the idea of a society where the magic exists (although it's dying off) right alongside science and technology...although it does create that situation where no one would want to choose the magic carpet over the jetliner!! Great review, as always...I'm looking forward to reading this one! I put it on my Goodreads list as soon as I first read your review.Holly Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281574165037823036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938482608550076693.post-66688651543207667362012-06-25T20:34:00.806+01:002012-06-25T20:34:00.806+01:00OMG sounds amazing & like a perfect book for m...OMG sounds amazing & like a perfect book for me, from your review it seems it has everything I want in a fantasy book: fun (with laugh out loud moments), creative, descriptive & imaginative, I want to read this now! I've heard great things about his Thursday Next series & his Shades of Grey series, but still haven't tried anything from him, perhaps I'll start with this one :) Thanks for the recommendation & the review & I hope the sequel will be just as great!Aleksandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11781896546785210965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938482608550076693.post-82562544392017361022012-06-23T02:06:03.054+01:002012-06-23T02:06:03.054+01:00Did someone mention dragons?

I've read most of Fforde's Thursday Next series and have wanted to venture into his other series for awhile now, but haven't managed it yet. :) I love his quirky writing style! And I know exactly what you mean when you mention the extra-special-ness that comes with reading a book set in your own "stomping ground," so to speak; I recently read Mike Mullin's Ashfall which takes place in my state, and it was much more interesting knowing exactly where the story was taking place!Randi Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03551945362843380860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938482608550076693.post-48870325062893424162012-06-17T23:14:30.959+01:002012-06-17T23:14:30.959+01:00Love this review!

No idea why. maybe he's not that well-known here. Anyway, everyone who writes about him loves him, I've got to find out what that's all about.
