From the author of the Thursday Next series, Nursery Crimes! The first installment, The Big Over Easy, asks was he pushed? Did he get sloshed and fall off? Was it suicide? Just what really happened to Humpty Dumpty? Jack (the giant killer!) and Mary, Mary don’t stop til they find out!
TW read this months ago and I’ve started it two or three times, never quite getting past the first chapter or two. I was afraid I was going to hate it, or at least be disappointed, so I kept putting it off. I should have read it months ago, it was fun!
TW says not as good as the Thursday Next books but I think it might have been better. TW liked the really ridiculous inventions and stuff in Thursday Next more than I did. I really enjoyed the nusery rhyme character twists more than she did. Regardless, both series are fun. I can’t wait for the next Nursery Crime – The Fourth Bear. And of course more Thursday Next are always welcome.

I read somewhere that there is another book similar to this one, themewise, but better. It’s called “Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse.” It’s on my TBR list, if only for it’s name.
No way! I’m adding it on my TBR too. Thank you very much.
