The 5th in the Thursday Next Series, I feel that it’s less tightly constructed then previous series, but I liked it better than ‘Something Rotten’, cuz the chronoguards and that whole concept was just too difficult to assimilate. Haha… The current issue has lot of subplots but no one main story so it’s kind of like a pleasure-reading thingy rather than a race to finish in order to find the ending… It talks about Thursday’s experiences with Thursday5 and Thursday Next1.4 both aspiring Jurisfiction agents, her troubles with her son Friday and her continuing of SpecsOp under the cover of Acme Carpets.

Ok by now, I think non-Fforde readers will be well and truly lost… Shall just share an interesting riddle in the book:

You have two identical doors. Behind one is safety you seek, and behind the other is a… tiger. Guarding the door of each is an individual, one who always tells the truth, and the other who always lies. You can’t know which is which, nor which door is guarded by whom - and you have one question, to one guard, to discover the correct door… to safety.

So what’s the answer to this riddle?
