Jasper Fforde
There is another 1985, somewhere in the could-have-been, where the Crimean war still rages, dodos are regenerated in home-cloning kits and everyone is deeply disappointed by the ending of 'Jane Eyre'.
In this world there are no jet-liners or computers, but there are policemen who can travel across time, a Welsh republic, a great interest in all things literary - and a woman called Thursday Next.
In this utterly original and wonderfully funny first novel, Fforde has created a fiesty, loveable heroine and a plot of such richness and ingenuity that it will take your breath away.

Reseñas de la Crítica
The main character of 'The Eyre Affair' is one Thursday Next, a Literary Detective whose job is to police the literary world and prevent fake or bootleg copies of Literary works from entering the literature market. This book is set on a parallel version of Earth where the Crimean War is still being fought in 1985, cloning kits for animals like Thylacines and Dodos are available over the counter and Literature is the defining interest of the world's population. Thursday Next's life is sent into a dive by an encounter with the demonic Acheron Hades and is sent into a series of events that lead her to love, The Socialist Republic of Wales and the pages of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre.
I Found the book a highly amusing read and believe that Jasper Fforde's writing is incredibly clever and engaging and it well deserves the epithets of "playfully irreverent", "delightfully daft", "whoppingly imaginative" and "a work of ... startling originality".

I’m disappointed because the premise really was interesting! I won’t be sticking with this series.
That's it for me, I'm out.

- Female voices often have a deeper tone than male voices, thus generating a large disparity between my perception and the book. This created numerous clashes for me... essentially whenever a male character was introduced.
- When a change of location or character focus occurs there is little to distinguish between the two in terms of sound, generating a sense of confusion.
While such performance style may be fine with simpler stories, the context of the book is already quite confronting in its amusing and warped perspective, it really needs a good performance that can work with it, as oppossed to against it.
In all, i would love to see this narrative paired with a more appropriate performer.
Story is great, but is let down by performance
