The Library Book by Susan Orlean
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

2 stars= it was okay.If I were a librarian I would probably have loved it, but I'm someone with very little free time who loves to read and although the author's research, compilation, and presentation of facts is impressive and commendable, I was looking for more story and less information. I did learn many things about libraries & books and the 1961 burning of the Los Angeles library in particular, but for my interests it was TMI. I am in the minority because all my peeps gave it 4-5 stars, so don't reject the book based upon my review.
