Ben lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his wife and two children. He currently works at the Melbourne School of Theology as their eLearning Coordinator. He enjoys reading, writing, music and playing computer games in equal measures.

For those who might be interested, he lists C. S. Lewis, Peter Shaffer and Neal Stephenson as his literary inspirations. ...more

Ben Chenoweth said: " After the cliff-hanger that ended the previous book, I was rather surprised by the change of pace (and view-point!) of this one. But it worked well, and made for a good mystery novel. I look forward to the next book in the Thursday Next series! "

2026: Possibly not quite as good as the previous one, this novel still packs plenty of narrative hijinks. I would have upped the rating from 4 to 5 stars except for one plot conundrum that left me scratching my head, and I didn't appreciate the feeli ...more
