Just got it....

So far up to page 136.

Can't stop laughing at the Compass Rose Duffel Coats reference - Nicholas Monsarrat is one of my favourite writers.

Back to the book.................

Read it all in just under seven hours, which includes numrous stops to answer the door, telephone and eat my tea.

And now I have to wait at least a week to read it again, because Stephen has stolen it to read, then Mom will, then Dad. Grrr.

Still, at least I got it first!

There's a hole in my creativity bucket and it's all leaked out.

Finished it by lunchtime on Monday and started it again this afternoon - after getting a job and decorating the sitting room (well part of it, I ran out of paint!)

This time will pick up all the references/puns/sick jokes that I missed first time round (hopefully - after all it took more than 2 readings to get Landen Parke-Laine in the Eyre Affair!)

Got my copy yesterday at the signing, and finished reading it today. Thoroughly enjoyed it all.

Mine just arrived in the mail, shipped from England to New Jersey. I can't wait to get home from work so I can start reading it! Very excited. I have that "new book glow" and can't stop smiling . . .

Got it on Tuesday, finished in four hours. Couldn't put it down. It resolves some of the major issues from TN1-TN3 and is a brilliant read in itself. Well done, Jasper Fforde!

Yep, got it on Thursday Last, but still have not completed it, probably due to being busy at weekend. Grrrr. Loved "Evade the Question Time" and Hamlet arguing with St Jvlkx (go on, correct me on the spelling!) in different typefonts. Spiffing!

I recommend making sure you clean your card thoroughly, that sort of thing is very unhygenic
