Book 2 in the Nursery Crime series is good but not as great as Book 1 (“The Big Over Easy”). I enjoyed it and never thought of putting it down to read something else, it just wasn‘t as great. A solid 4 stars and worth reading if you enjoyed Book 1 👍
My latest Pango book order arrived and I‘m so happy to continue the Nursery Crime books with “The Fourth Bear” 😁 The others just jumped in my cart, craziest thing 🤪😉
so-soI'm torn about this one. I love this author. The writing itself is very good. The jokes are funny. The book as a whole (storyline, plot)...meh. Stole this off a coworker. I'll put it back where I got it now.

A coworker found this in the library at work. And I never actually read it. So it's coming home with me.
"Here's to the day when they repeal Porribition." Jasper Fforde's wit never stops.
"If he didn't deal with her, the Jack Spratt series was likely to stop abruptly at the second volume. No third book and definitely no boxed set."
Oh no - kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy! ?
"Sometimes Jack thought the NCD (Nursery Crime Division) was just a mop that sponged up weird."
pickThe second book about the Nursery Crimes Division is just as good as the first one. It started strong, then lost a bit of steam in the middle, but the showdown was brillant. I hope Fforde will get around to writing the promised third book.
'They walked round to the back of the car and Dorian opened the boot. Inside was a finely painted oil of the same car, but in much shabbier condition.'
Dorian Gray as a used car dealer. The car is in mint condition, but has an oil painting in the boot. That's my kind of humour and exactly what I expect from Fforde 😂
pickI love Jasper Fforde's writing. This is 1 of his 2 books in The Nursery Crime series. Very funny stuff. Read it.

I'm so pleased that I was able to repurpose my animal kingdom 'tigger is that you' mug after a flying bottle of cinnamon kamikazed out of the kitchen cupboard to take a chunk out it (grrr!) and the plant (named Mother of Thousands) is doing so well!
Ok, I stretched the tag a bit to fave nursery tales

All the #sequelplease posts yesterday reminded me of this series and the "The Last Great Tortoise Race" sequel that I've been stalking in Goodreads since 2010. It looks like he promised to "get around to it" in a May 2016 web chat, but come on! ?
