Title: Not up to par
Product review: Pretty disappointing, all up.In general, Fforde's heroines display some endearing little quirk that makes them human, such as lying, stealing, breaking and entering and variations of these. In Practically Perfect the heroine's little quirk is that she is not only a liar and a thief, but a whinging selfish little beast - ultimately unlikeable. This wouldn't break the novel, but something goes wrong with the plot and from about halfway it's pretty much a hasty gallop to a cliched ending.Although the novel's intended to be humourous, I don't remember smiling at the laboured antics. Not Fforde's best work.
