Early Riser by Jasper Fforde

freesien's review against another edition

Das Buch hat seine lustigen Stellen, aber die Geschichte zieht sich an manchen Stellen und ich kam mit den ganzen neuen Bezeichnungen, wie Wintersomniasten etc. nicht ganz klar, es waren zu viele, um sich zu merken, was was bedeutet.

I'm not quite sure what to think about this book. It's a good story and a very interesting premise but in my view it's way too long and twisty. I think at least 50 pages shorter would make a better book.
I felt I needed a glossary to help me remember who everyone was and the definitions of all the new concepts and names for different types of characters

An interesting read. A little off-beat and felt very British.

Another Fforde madness. Excellently executed and snidely funny. As always highly recommended.

Fantastically creative storytelling, that entertains and doesn't treat the reader like an idiot. This is defiantly my favorite read of the year so far.
