Synopsis
Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next fantasy adventures have become a worldwide phenomenon, spawning websites, artifacts, and fan clubs. Thursday is back, in this fourth installment of her adventures, and she's pitted against not only St. Zvlkx, who has dropped in from the Middle Ages, but the very contemporary (and very evil) Goliath Corp., which now has ambitions to turn itself into a religion and, on the side, is trying to take over Antarctica and sell penguin meat. To make matters more interesting, Hamlet arrives from Elsinore, upset about the relationship between his mother and his uncle, and hangs around awhile in the guise of Thursday's Cousin Eddie. Meanwhile, Thursday--who is officially on leave from her job in the SpecOps Jurisfiction Department--is trying to care for her toddler son, Friday, and track down her long-missing husband.

Publisher's Note
Tired of her responsibilities as the Bellman in Jurisfiction, literary sleuth Thursday Next packs up her son, Friday, to return to Swindon, accompanied by the Danish prince Hamlet, only to find herself coping with outlaw fictioneer Yorrick Kaine, anti-Danish sentiment, the return of Swindon's patron saint, and a seminal croquet tournament.

Industry Reviews
"Fforde loves seeking out the literal in literature, to the point that a book's leading characters have more distinct features than its minor ones....He imagines that Starbucks is opening coffee shops in the Hardy Boys series. And he thinks it perfectly possible that a Martian confused by W's could wander out of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS and wind up in THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS....Fforde also writes quick, clever dialogue with expert comic timing....The pileup of all these ingredients, not to mention the hedgehog Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle from the Beatrix Potter books and appearances by certain Alice in Wonderland characters, make SOMETHING ROTTEN clever and a half. Fforde's penchant for plotting knows no bounds, nor does his taste for awful puns. .It's hard to forgive some of this. But it's easy to be delighted by a writer who loves books so madly...."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (08/10/2004)

"With humorous illustrations and curious footnotes sprinkled throughout, Fforde's latest will have hardcore fans roaring...."
Publishers Weekly (08/16/2004)
