Review of 'One week in the library' on 'GoodReads'

2 stars

I'm really not sure what to think of this. There was potential here and some strong points about the nature of books and stories, but overall it kind of fell flat. I think if it were longer, more fleshed out, and really used that space to explore why stories last through the ages and what we get out of books, I would enjoy it a lot more. There's only so much depth you can put into such a slim volume, especially when the seven chapters are connected by only the thinnest of threads.
