The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde

I'm on a bit of a Jasper Fforde roll, but this third book of his fell slightly below expectations for me. I think it was a lack of dramatic action. This novel is set in the well of lost plots, a place where wannabe books are formed and re-formed before they are published.

If I dare say, the first book is all action, slight diversion; the second book 50% action, 50% diversion; and the third is all diversion, slight action. I like the second book best.

Though I must admit that that had had and that that debate had had me rolling about the floor laughing.
