![]() Finally, I've found someone who's heard of him. I've read all the Nursery books, but I've only read two from Thursday Next. |

No Nero, he's not a good writer. Because, you know, all we've had to say about him in this thread is that he sucks... Seriously, he's weird, but a good author. His books are very original. |

Fine, don't have to be so cruel... ![]() But look at Eragon; I'll say it's somewhat exciting with horrible prose and characters and...oh hell, everything else. |

Eragon? < Meaning, why did you use that as an example. V Talking about Fforde Well, his prose isn't exactly excellent, I'll grant you. But his ideas and the plot is what makes it funny. I have read all his books ( )

Realizing of course, that most of it is copied straight from other people. You can get sued for that, you know. It's called plagarism. |

Eragon written by Jasper Fforde. There's an idea. |
