Summary
The BookWorld's leading enforcement officer Thursday Next is four months into an enforced semi-retirement following an assassination attempt. She returns home to Swindon for what you'd expect to be a time of recuperation. If only life were that simple. Thursday is faced with an array of family problems - son Friday's lack of focus since his career in the Chronoguard was relegated to a might-have-been, daughter Tuesday's difficulty perfecting the Anti-Smote shield needed to thwart an angry Deity's promise to wipe Swindon off the face of the earth, and Jenny, who doesn't exist. And that's not all.
With Goliath attempting to replace Thursday at every opportunity with synthetic Thursdays, the prediction that Friday's Destiny-Aware colleagues will die in mysterious circumstances and a looming meteorite that could destroy all human life on earth, Thursday's retirement is going to be anything but easy.

prefer the earlier books
though interesting this book has cut away from the original story line and totally away from the book jumping which for me made up the character of Thursday next. I had a feeling as I listened to it that the author just wanted to finish the series of books and bring it to end, which I guess has happened but not in the way I expected or really enjoyed.

Quintessential Fforde, not so well read
Quirky, witty, highly confusing to anyone who doesn't relax by untangling string. The performance suffered from occasional, jarring lapses of comprehension. Inappropriate inflections inadequately understood sentence structure made this, for me, a very frustrating listen.

Just not as good as the others
I have enjoyed this series but this book seemed to be trying to do too much. Some parts of the story were not clearly explained and other bits whilst explained was all a bit far fetched (I know in a novel huh?). Made me think of Dallas and dream sequences.

Rare perfect ending
I should probably go back and review the first one because we all probably liked it if we got through the rest of them. I know I did!

Frustrating
I feel that one more book is needed. What happened to Landon and the kids. As they don’t seem to feature in her later life.
However as always the story was good and the narrator perfect. But Please Please get rid of the awful music that has permeated my brain throughout the series

Another ace Thursday Next tale
I have been a fan of this series since stumbling on the intriguingly titled "Lost in a good book" .
This is another great story that ties up previous loose ends in classic Nextian fashion while leaving scope for other sequels.
I hope there will be more travels in the BookWorld.
This was the first in the series that I listened to on Audible and I thought the reader performed very well, just like I imagine Thursday to sound.
