This is the story of Jane who finds the novel she is working on starts to write back. She's already realized novel writing isn't such a piece of cake after all, and the world of fiction is a far more complicated place than she ever imagined.

Mostly good.
Humorous, clever and enjoyable.

Didn't like the way it ended - lost me and didn't make much sense to me. (

Interesting premise. The line between fiction and reality becomes permeable. Characters in books cross over to reality and authors cross over to the fictional worlds of books. (

Another delightfully quick romp with Tom Holt. So self-reflective that it comes back around to being acceptable. (

Poor Piglet. And the others. (
