After buying this book on a whim I'm now...well puzzled (and perhaps a bit thick ). So help me out guys. Is this book supposed to be badly written? because with lines like 'I queried inquisitively' and 'he replied slightly shakily' it has to be a joke, right? This book has rave reviews and even one says that every sentence is like a sly wink. BUT... so far (Ch 6.) Thursday Next is wooden and I'm not sure how long I can put up with the er...joke. So, should I continue?
Anyone?
