    Fforde's books are more than an ingenious idea. They are written with buoyant zest and are tautly plotted. They have empathefic heroes and heroines who nearly make terrible mistakes and suitably dastardly villains who do. They also have more twists and turns than Christie,and are embellished with the rich details of a Dickens or Pratchett.As Humpty Dumpty's life-story is revealed, the mystery becomes curiouser and curiouser, and the compulsion to find out what is going on increases. A real treat.
