The Thursday Next Series

How does the author deepen the "world" he has created? What did we think of each of the books?

We thought these books were a great romp. Check out Jasper's website, it's a HOOOOOT! Photo-shopped images and gadgets to order.

SUPERLATIVES
Most Interesting - The concept of time travel (and never really dying because you are still alive in a different "time")
Most Scary - The Goliath Corporation
Most Funny - The whole silly book series, do do's (the bird), word plays with names and puns
Most Cool - The inventions were really creative (and it was only the 1980's!)
Biggest Problem - The time-travel is never really explained, you either can or you can't. There's lots of willing suspension of disbelief.

Hades's sister is the baddie, Landon is eradicated, and Thursday is pregnant.

Thursday lives in the book world and she is still pregnant. Landen is still not there.

Friday is two years old, Landen comes back, and Goliath is starting a religious cult. There are also multiple Shakespeares, Mammoths trampling the garden, and a Minotaur on the loose.

Friday is sixteen and there are multiple Thursdays (#1-4, and 5, and the original outlander).
