Product Information

The New York Times bestseller and "a rich brew of dystopic fantasy and deadpan goofiness" ( The Washington Post ) from the author of the Thursday Next series and Early Riser Welcome to Chromatacia, where the societal hierarchy is strictly regulated by one's limited color perception. And Eddie Russet wants to move up. But his plans to leverage his better-than-average red perception and marry into a powerful family are quickly upended. Juggling inviolable rules, sneaky Yellows, and a risky friendship with an intriguing Grey named Jane who shows Eddie that the apparent peace of his world is as much an illusion as color itself, Eddie finds he must reckon with the cruel regime behind this gaily painted fa ade.

Reviews
Praise for Shades of Grey "A full-bore futuristic sci-fi fantasy, if that's what you call a book that prizes character above techno-wizardry...Laugh-out-loud funny." -- Los Angeles Times "Not to be missed."-- The Miami Herald "Fforde's premise, a world organized by color, sounds shallow and only capable of furnishing enough material for an episode of The Twilight Zone . But in the author's skilled hands, it becomes a sly way to satirize religion and overbearing government, as well as a constant source of amusement. Color us green with envy."-- New York Post "Fforde is an author of immense imagination. Not satisfied with just a few layers of Dickensian jokes and revisions of the physical universe, he creates an archeological treasure trove for readers...The coming-of-age story and manic-pixie-dream-girl romance don't need to be much more than icing on the cake to make Shades of Grey a fancifully satisfying concoction."--The A.V. Club "Already cult- worshipped for his popular Thursday Next and Nursery Crimes novels (First Among Sequels, etc.) Fforde is something like a contemporary Lewis Carroll or Edward Lear....To dispel a black mood and chase away the blues, this witty novel offers an eye- popping spectrum of remedies."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "This series starter combines the dire warnings of Brave New World and 1984 with the deevolutionary visions of A Canticle for Leibowitz and Riddley Walker ....It's all brilliantly original."-- Booklist (starred review) "[An] inventive fantasy...Eddie navigates a vividly imagined landscape whose every facet is steeped in the author's remarkably detailed color scheme."-- Publishers Weekly, The world of the near future is anything but an ashen wasteland in theimpish British author's refreshingly daft first volume of a new fantasyseries. Already cult-worshipped for his popular Thursday Next and NurseryCrimes novels (First Among Sequels, 2007, etc.) Fforde is somethinglike a contemporary Lewis Carroll or Edward Lear. He's a shamelesspunster with a demonic flair for groan-worthy parodies and lampoons,and it's just too much bother to try to resist his greased-pignarratives. In this one, which does take place in a possiblypost-apocalyptic world, a repressive Colortocracy ranks and separatescitizens according to their ability to perceive particular colors. Forexample, haughty Greens and dictatorial Yellows ("Gamboges") deemRed-ness hopelessly lower class. It's as if 1984 were ruled by CocoChanel. Our hero, Eddie Russett (a Red, naturally), is an affable youngman who hangs out with his father Holden (a healer known as aswatchman), killing time until his arranged marriage to fellow RedConstance Oxblood. But when son and father resettle in the odd littlehamlet of East Carmine, the lad's eyes are opened to a confusion ofstandards and mores, and the realities of sociopolitical unrest. Whileserving his punishment for a school prank by compiling a "chaircensus," Eddie visits fascinating new places, enjoys the wonders of theUnLibrary and the organized worship of Oz, and decides thatconscientious resistance to entrenched authority probably won't bringabout the ultimate ecological catastrophe--Mildew. He's a little lesssure about his wavering infatuation with Jane, a militant, pissed-offGrey (they're the proles) who rather enjoys abusing him. Eventually,the best and brightest prosper, while characters of another color endup in the relational red (so to speak). All this is serenely silly, but to dispel a black mood and chase awaythe blues, this witty novel offers an eye-popping spectrum of remedies.A grateful hue and cry (as well as sequels) may be anticipated. --STARRED Kirkus In Eddie Russett's world, color is destiny. A person's perception ofcolor, once tested, determines their rank in the Colortocracy, withprimes ruling "bastard" colors and everyone lording it over theprole-like grays. No one can see more than their own color, and no oneknows why--but there are many unknowns ever since Something Happened,followed by the deFacting and successive Great Leaps Backward. Due toan infraction against the Collective's rule-bound bureaucracy, Eddie issent to East Carmine, in the Outer Fringes, where manners areshockingly poor, to conduct a month-long chair census. In short order,he falls in love, runs afoul of the local prefects, learns a terriblesecret, and is eaten by a carnivorous tree. This series startercombines the dire warnings of Brave New World and 1984 with thedeevolutionary visions of A Canticle for Leibowitz and Riddley Walker,but, Fforde being Fforde, his dystopia includes an abundance of teashops and a severe shortage of jam varieties. It's all brilliantlyoriginal. If his complex worldbuilding sometimes slows the plot and thebalance of silly and serious is uneasy, we're still completely wonover. In our own willful myopia, we sorely need the laughs. --STARRED Booklist

Seller misrepresented the item. When I contacted them they were low-key hostile about it and then expected me to spend my own time and money driving across town to ship it back - save yourself the headache and shop elsewhere.
