The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde
4.0
I'm a big fan of Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series. This book is the first in his series about Jack Spratt and the Nursery Crime Division. The two series are very similar, though the Thursday Next books take place in a universe where literature comes to life, and the NCD books are set in a world where fairy tales and nursery rhymes are real and live their lives among ordinary people. As in all of his other books, Fforde writes with such imagination and wit that the book is a joy to read.
Unfortunately for me, I put this book down in the middle and restarted it about a month later. I do not recommend this. This is a book you want to read straight through, as there are so many unique and vibrant characters, one can easily become confused.
