deliriumcrowSomething's Rotten, Jasper Fforde
And now it all comes together. Books in the real world, real in the books world, Hamlet in the real world and a coup in Hamlet and invasions by the Merry Wives of Windsor. It's purely nutty. And, if course, a book character in real world politics, trying to eradicate Danish influence in England. I kept expecting Freedom Pastries, actually, though I suppose that would have been too obvious. Also, time makes a little more sense in this book, but not enough to really matter much. By the end, it's pretty well non-linear again, and has a bit of the "but we have to remember to do it" going on. THough apparently that was going on the whole time. Meh, it makes sense once you get there. Problem with writing these things is hat there really is so much to give away, and so little that can be easily commented on without revealign major plot points.
There are probably plot holes, but I was too busy being amused and confused to notice or care. And they were probably patched up later anyway.
