The Fourth Bear, Jasper Fforde

Jasper Fforde's The Fourth Bear is yet another book from the Waterstone's "books that will change your life" list.

I actually struggled with this book - tried reading it several weeks before and ended up ditching it, but took it with us on vacation anyway.

It's one of those books that has a clever premise that I find a bit too clever (like Wicked, which I read last year).

When I finally read it through I found it kind of amusing but it seemed like the humor was over-thought and trying too hard.

I'd have to read really really positive reviews before reading another book of this type.
