Description

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.

Another delightfully quick romp with Tom Holt. So self-reflective that it comes back around to being acceptable.
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.
Poor Piglet. And the others.
