The Fourth Bear, Jasper Fforde

Is the second book in the Nursery Crime Series by Jasper Fforde. (book 1) Any author who can parody crap British cars and make porridge into a controlled substance (flake) deserves credit.

UNFORTUNATELY MY LIBRARY SUPPLIED ME WITH THE LARGE PRINT VERSION WHICH ANYONE CAN READ 1KM AWAY AND THROUGH ALL OBSTRUCTIONS EXCEPT LEAD*.

The story parodies the shit out of all detective stories and sets the tone just right with aliens, boobs, cucumbers of mass destruction [you read that correct], and is an witty read.

3/5 bananas – less of a slog than book 1 * humour
