Prima carte pe care am citit-o pe eBook reader a fost Lost in a good book de Jasper Fforde si este a 2-a carte din seria cu Thursday Next. Dupa ce am citit in vara The Eyre Affair m-am indragostit de aceasta LiteraTec si abia asteptam sa fac cumva sa pot citi si urmatoarele carti. Pot sa afirm sus si tare, ca la capitolul fantasy, Thursday Next imi place la fel de mult ca si Harry Potter

Daca in prima carte Thursday l-a omorat pe infractorul no1, Acheron Hades, in cea de-a doua carte, ea se vede nevoita sa faca fata surorii acestuia, Aornis Hades, care doreste sa razbune moartea fratelui ei. De parca toate acestea nu sunt de ajuns, Thursday mai este si insarcinata, iar ChronoGuards, in complicitate cu Goliath Corporation, i-au eradicat sotul, pe Landen, ca sa o oblige sa-l aduca pe Jack Schitt inapoi in lumea reala din The Raven, unde Thursday il inchisese la sfarsitul primei carti.

Si acum pot sa respir… nu am de gand sa va dau la fel de multe detalii ca si la The Eyre Affair [click pe link-ul de mai sus], dar nu imi pot imagina persoana careia sa nu-i placa aceste carti. Evident, Thursday intra din nou in carti, vorbeste cu personajele, iar daca v-as spune ca Miss Havisham din Great Expectations stie sa conduca si, mai mult, poarta tenisi si are si un pistol, m-ati crede?

“Are you armed?”
“Always – do you expect any trouble?”
Miss Havisham drew out her small pistol, released the twin barrels, pivoted it upward and gave me one of her more serious stares.
“I always expect trouble, Thursday. I was on HPD – Heathcliff Protection Duty – in Wuthering Heights for two years and, believe me, the ProCaths tried everything – I personally saved him from assassination eight times.”

Lumea imaginata de Jasper Fforde este cu atat mai fascinanta, cu cat ne poarta prin cat mai multe romane cunoscute, romane cu “greutate”, si, intr-adevar, stie sa dea viata personajelor, chiar si personajelor care au fost inventate de altii.

Iar, in plus, autorul are si simtul umorului:

I’ve just been informed that the reason for the excuse for the delay has been delayed itself. As soon as we find out why the reason for the excuse has been delayed we will tell you – in line with government guidelines. If you are at all unhappy with the speed with which the excuse has been delivered, you might be eligible for one per cent refund. Have a nice drop.

“You have brought shame upon your profession, Herr H. You are under arrest!”
“On what charge?” replied Hopkins arrogantly.
“I am not authorised to tell you,” said the magistrate triumphantly. “Proceedings have been started and you will be informed in due course.”
“But this is preposterous!” shouted Hopkins as he was dragged away.
“No,” replied the magiastrate, “this is Kafka.”

Nu se poate sa citesti cartile astea si sa nu te gandesti la “ce fain ar fi daca as putea si eu sa intru, cu adevarat, in carti…” Momentan sunt in pauza de visat. Please, do not disturb!
