fforde is a genius, rereading Shades of Grey is simply delightful.

I really enjoyed reading Shades Of Grey and think that the story is cleverly constructed.

This is one of his most difficult books conceptually.

Flatland, yes! I was thinking Flatland too!

Aha, I listened to another interview, and a Shades of Grey standalone is coming out in 2014, or he's writing it then. A kind of prequel, I gather. Yay!

I read it recently for the second time and understood it better. I wish Part II would come out.
