Lost in a Good Book did not suck.
We (Oz and I both) were really disappointed with The Eyre Affair, which consisted of a slim plot liberally interspersed with lots of authorial skipping around and saying, "Look! I'm clever!" I pretty much thought that would be the only chance I'd ever give Jasper Fforde, but when I saw a remaindered copy of Lost in a Good Book for only US$4.98 (plus 10% off), we went ahead and got it because it was cheap and recyclable.
Skip ahead to this weekend. I'm working really hard on not doing homework and reading fluff is always my first choice for procrastination. This book certainly qualifies. I also found it to be not annoying and even to include cool bits. Does that sound like damning with faint praise? I don't mean for it to, because I can unequivocally say that reading this book is a great way to avoid doing homework.
