Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to a friend because I love the story line and the narration.
Which scene was your favorite?
The play by play of Thursday trying to keep her mother from looking in to see Friday and Mrs. Bradshaw asleep on the couch.
If you could take any character from Something Rotten out to dinner, who would it be and why?
I would love to be able to take Thursday's Dad out to dinner. Being a rouge in the Chronoguard could make for interesting conversation.

Story
After two rollicking adventures through Western literature, resourceful literary detective Thursday Next definitely needs some downtime. And what better place for a respite than in the hidden depths of the Well of Lost Plots, where all unpublished books reside? But peace and quiet remain elusive for Thursday, who soon discovers that the Well is a veritable linguistic free-for-all, where grammasites run rampant, plot devices are hawked on the black market, and lousy books—like the one she has taken up residence in—are scrapped for salvage.
