Thank goodness! I actually enjoyed The Fourth Bear! OK not as much as I have enjoyed all of the Thursday Next books but I did enjoy it a lot. Tons more than the first Nursery Crimes book.
In the Humpty Dumpty book I didn’t much care for Mary Mary and I found Ashley a ridiculous character entirely. This time around, I liked them both. I also loved Punch & Judy. I’m still not thrilled about Prometheus and that whole storyline but I can overlook that now.
So what do you think – is The Gingerbread Man a cookie or is he cake? It’s important that you know for sure which he is…
Cookie or Cake is definitely one of the great questions in life!
I too enjoyed this book much more than The Big Over Easy…but still not as much as the Thursday Next novels!
I’ve had “The Big Over Easy” in Mount TBR for about three months. Need to get to it soon, so I’ll be prepared to do my comparison with The Fourth Bear some day.
