Review title: Who says an egg can't find love?
Product review: This is not a Thursday Next book. That's why there are only four stars instead of five. It benefits from the same wild imagination, though, and that's why I was tempted to go for all five stars.Who else but Jasper Fforde would imagine Humpty Dumpty, the egg wearing the cummerbund ("or is it a necktie?") as the ultimate ladies' man?Who else would plant a clue in the deceased egg's home, and make it a single hair... but one that is 23 feet long.If you have ever suspected that nursery rhymes are just a teeny bit violent, and wondered about the back-stories of those strange characters, then maybe you, too, will enjoy getting lost in a good nursery rhyme/crime.As a Thursday Next fan, it took me a couple of chapters to warm up to Humpty-Over-Easy, but the bursts of wild laughter induced by the egg's (and others) over-the-wall antics more than repay the initial patience.Celine Nisaragi
