A book lovers to completely outlandish and crazy stories

Admit as much now, I have not managed to pass the course of the first third of the book! The story was much to entice me travel in time, a police brigade specialized degree in literary theft and manipulation in the past (and many would travel to the past to rewrite the end of Hauts de Wuthering Heights) , dodo in every corner (company new animals were found a way to clone them into fashionable) ...

Alas ... I digest the absurd that small dose, and here the story is completely crazy. The heroine named Thursday Next, the villain is called Hades, Styx his brother, the uncle of the heroine invents crazy stuff completions and useless like changing the color of a will to car (ChameleonCar) it are at least 27 police but nobody is what most are used ...

The style is very good and very deadpan ("a bit tragic, Thursday. We were Developing a Machine That Used whit egg, heat and sugar to synthesize methanol When A power surge Caused an explosion. Was Owens meringued"), all is very cultured and very well organized ... but to be reserved for amateurs and absurd humor on the 2nd or 10th grade, as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I had so badly digested. In terms of personal feeling I can not put more than 2 stars, but in terms of literary quality that is certainly a minimum 3 star.
