I finished "One of Our Thursdays is Missing" yesterday evening. I really enjoyed this installment of the Thursday Next series. First off, I liked the concentration on BookWorld, it provided lots of opportunities for literary jokes. Not just the name dropping, though that's fun. I like the way Fforde inserts examples into his own text. The most obvious is the defective Mrs. Malaprop. My favorite example in this book is the Italiciser, but there are lot of others.

Fforde seems to have a lot of fun with this one and it's a fun ride. It had me laughing out loud regularly and I didn't want to put it down even after a long reading session.
