Review of 'The City of Dreaming Books (Zamonia 3)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This book was a bit of a disappointment after my introduction to [a:Walter Moers|34878|Walter Moers|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1298743615p2/34878.jpg] with [b:Rumo: And His Miraculous Adventures|62033|Rumo And His Miraculous Adventures (Zamonia #2)|Walter Moers|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170598805s/62033.jpg|1482383].
There is too little action and too much exposition.
The City of Dreaming Books, tries to weave a fantastic tale about the world behind the scenes of the Authorship and Publishing of books.
After reading [a:Jasper Fforde|4432|Jasper Fforde|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1241065899p2/4432.jpg]'s, Thursday Next series, I found this attempt at this kind of fiction a bit lacking.
The book does pick up towards the end and is worth reading, but it can get tedious at times.
