Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde

This could have been a really hard book to read in anyone else's hands, but Fforde brings a lightness and humour to some very dark episodes.  The tyranny and dystopia of Fforde's colour coded world echo 1984 and other such classics chillingly but with Fforde you feel there is hope.  A great new series, much darker than the Thursday Next series, looking forward to the next ones.
